lawnmower blenny food reccomendations

i bought "formula two" with my lawnmower blenny but he does'nt care when i drop it in. is he getting enough if he looks healthy or is there a more popular food i should try. theres not much green hair algae but theres some stray chaeto in the tank. would he be eating the chaeto?

Is it a new fish? If so give it a few days. You can try PE Mysis, all fish will eat it.

the brand name"PE" offers that much of a better product? i've got reg mysis to try tonight. the fish is 2-3 weeks in my care and doesn't appear to be malnurished. should mysis be always offered even when hair algae is present?

Could even take a few months before it takes prepared foods.. When i've had new LMB, i would let my tank walls algae up more then usually. You will see lip marks everywhere and that will tell you if its eating or starving to death.
