My guy is chomping at my rock work and glass all day long, but happily takes part during normal feedings and eats the frozen and pellet food the other fish get.

where blennys arent as good as a sea hare is in how messy they eat.

They graze more so than scour the surface.

So if you watch a sea hare eat through a path of HA, what you see is a pretty clean rock with most of the visible roots consumed as it's mouth is sucking right on the rock.

This means its less likely to spread and takes longer to grow back.

Blennys spread HA around a lot more as they grab the alga higher up and tear it.
