Black combtooth blenny refuses to eat

[GHsaltie]

I got this beautiful black combtooth blenny last Thursday and he refuses to eat anything, doesn't even show any interest. I did watch him for several minutes at the store before I purchased him and he is nice and plump, overall looks to be in good health. I did entirely forget to ask the LFS what, if anything, he was eating before purchase and I'm going to try calling again tomorrow to find out. I've been offering him mysis shrimp, NLS pellets and ocean nutrition flakes. He hasn't even tasted any of it, so I'm unsure if he's still too stressed, im offering the wrong food, or if it's something else? He is currently sharing a QT with two juvenile clowns which can be a little boisterous, should I get a divider and give him some more privacy?

He will be unlikely to go after the pellets and flakes in the beginning. Feeding mysis in high flow can sometimes entice fish to chase after the food. However, there are plenty of instances where combtooth varieties of blenny don't accept foods. If the tank is mature and moderately sized, than it can often support these picky blennies.
