    I bought a harptail blenny the other day and I haven't seen it eat all since I got on Friday. Ive been feeding small amounts mysis shrimp but it never goes after them. I kill the water pumps when I feed and it swims around actively in the vacinity of the food but never eats any. I often see it biting rocks tho. Is it eating pieces that land on the rocks? What is the best way to feed these little guys? I'm worried about him starving :cry:
