Question Feeding my blenny, Henry

I got a bi-colored blenny, Henry, and he is doing fine. I am just wondering what to feed him. I have a significant amount of algae in my tank along with lots of different kinds of macro algae and some red sea weed growing. Do i still need to feed him some flake or frozen herbivore foods? and if so how often?

I would feed one small portion of spirulina once every other day, but that's just me.

Mine eats nori ,flake , pellets , brine , and other frozen as well as picks at algea all day.A mixed diet for any stock is best.
You dont want to feed the normal 3 to 4 min. as a full blenny eats less algea.

Though the blenny may help with algea he wont be a cure. If you have a algea problem then you need to find the source.
