scooter blenny

are they hard to feed?

They need/eat pods.

It is in the same family as the mandarins (Dragonets) and should be considered difficult to keep and feed.
This is from peteducation.com
"The Scooter Blenny may be a difficult fish to keep due to its feeding habits. The Scooter Blenny will sift through the sand for food. Finely cut meaty foods and vitamin-enriched brine shrimp may be acceptable substitutes."

Scooter Blennies as well as all dragonettes are delicate fish that are usually difficult to keep and require a large amount of pods to eat. In captivity they have a high mortality rate and due to that fact my feeling is to leave them on the reef where they will grow and thrive.

I've had the same scooter blenny for over a year now, and he does well on mysis shrimp, but has to be target fed. you need some patience, good luck.

i have one for about a month and he eats anything i give him, so far he has eaten frozen food pellets and flakes i guess i'm lucky with him
