Please Help - Tailspot Won't Eat

I got a tailspot blenny pair last Friday. They still refuse to eat and the female is getting very thin. I have algae on a clip and am trying mysis and frozen formula one soaked in garlic. Anyone have any tips here? They are picking at the rocks (for algae I presume), but I can't get them to eat when I feed.

Please help! thanks!

Any other fish in the tank? When I had one he took his cue from a clown goby that mysis was really food. Or maybe try adding some live rock with lots of algea on it for a natural source if you don't have any.

they are the only fish in the tank ... there is algae growth in the tank, but they don't seem that interested in it
