When I say myth, in better terms- mystery as many stores are even unaware of this

This is true. Many stores hear herbivore and think nuisance algae and sheets, and hear carnivore and think mysis and brine, and nothing else.

yes but what they are saying is that if the blenny had no algae that could have caused it

Watch the clowns feces for the next couple weeks. Otherwise, it happens. Fish die. Heck, everything eventually dies! It could have been older when you bought it or it could've had some underlying health issues. If your clowns are doing fine and the water parameters are normal, there is no reason to freak out.

While your clowns may have prevented it, these guys often will not pick at hair algae and other of the really annoying nuisance algae. People often buy these guys thinking they will help and often times they wont. Those just aren't the kind of algae they are after.
