If he doesnt go for the algae then you should try brine shrimp. There alot smaller so the blenny can eat them easier.

As a herbivore, the main diet of the fish has to be algae based food.
Is that frozen brine shrimp or live brine shrimp? It has been said that frozen brine shrimp has little nutrition that fish spends more energy digesting brine shrimp than getting energy from brine shrimp.
I don't have any scientific evidence to back it up. But I don't feed my fish brine shrimp, frozen or live.
