Question Feeding Black Sailfin Blenny in QT?

Hello,

Black Sailfin Blenny = Herbivore according to everything I've read. Note that this is the black sailfin, not a lawnmower blenny or scooter dragonette which I've seen by the same name.

I have some curiosity about feeding a Sailfin Blenny in my relatively clean QT where there's no naturally growing macros. He doesn't seem interested in the aquadine algae flake.

I've clipped nori in there and I suspect the Blenny ate it because I found the blenny hanging out down by the clip one day after the nori disappeared.

I'm just slightly concerned because the darn thing is so skittish and sessile that I never actually see it eat. I'm also a bit worried in the long-term because my display tank is relatively clean and doesn't really have any hair algae or other macros.

He might be herbivore but you can also try to give him mysid and see if he takes it.
