Dumb question -- what do scooter blennies eat?  Or better yet, what do I feed him?  I probably should have found out the answer to this question before buying him.  And, since we're on the subject, what should I feed my new clownfish?  I've got frozen brine shrimp already.  And some marine flake food.  But these two fish come on the heels of only two other salt water fish I've owned, which are damsels who will eat anything.

Steer me in the right direction, all-knowing reefers out there.

Scooter Blennies are really Dragonets and eat pods just like a Mandarin.

Clowns are related to Damsels and will eat just about anything. The food you already have is perfect.

IF you don't have a large well established tank scooter blennies will slowly starve to death just like mandarins, I really wish they weren't sold by the common name that they are.....

Rats...I was afraid of that.....my tank's got a lot of pods, but I'm sure it won't be long before they are all gone.  So, I guess I'd better sell the little dude.
