What should I feed my algae blenny?

My algae blenny is brand new to my tank, just introduced, about 3" long. Will they eat the hair algae in my tank? What should I supplement his diet with? I already toss the following in my tank: tetramarine flakes, granules, sea veggies, phytoplankton

Any input on how to care for these is greatly appreciated.

I think they are OK eating the algae, I could be wrong though... Also, use the "edit" button because making another post as an addition to your first may get your post overlooked because people thinik it has been answered already- just a little tip
