Has anyone kept a canary blenny?

I would like to keep a canary blenny. I've heard they aren't the best choice is that true?

Tank Specs: 135 gal reef. 4 Chromis, 1 purple tang, 1 yellow tang, 1 saifin tang, 1 six-lined wrasse, 1 tomato clown, 1 foxface rabbit fish, 1 coral beauty, and a lyretail anthias.

I currently have one.

I lost my beloved Midas Blenny due to carpet-surfing, and decided to try a Canary Blenny.

I've had mine for about a week now, but I've never actually seen him eat what I feed his other tankmates. (New Life Spectrum, Formual Two Algae Flakes/Pellets, Mysis Shrimp, Emerald Entree, Mussel, Freeze-dried Shrimp, etc.) I see him pick off the rock and sand, but no luck with actual "fish food." I've read on WWM that this is a common problem.

He's had no issues with other tankmates and is very bold, always out in the front of the tank, never dives into a hole to hide...

Of course, you've gotta be careful not to agitate him if your hands are in the tank, otherwise you're out to get a pretty painful bite.
