Unexpected Guest

[Acquaman]

Went to LFS to buy live cured rock. Once I got home began to unpackage rock and saw some "creature" in a hole of a rock. Thought it was a snail first then once in tank, boom a lawnmower blenny pops out!! 1st timer here. Seems to be cooperating to tank. No usual behavior. Any top tips to care for it. They lazy or active fish? I know they're algae eaters

Amazing he made it home in just damp paper towels. I think putting some seaweed on a clip in the tank and he will eat it fine hopefully. Might now eat it right away from the shock of that trip but that's really cool! You usuyou get like mantis shrimp murderer or really unwanted snails or something.
