Bicolor blenny -- omnivore?


I've had a very lively bicolor for a month now and am trying to figure out a proper diet for him. I can't seem to get a straight answer by looking at profiles online -- most say bicolors are herbivores that love to graze on algae. Not mine. He'll eat virtually anything I put in, as long as its not green and meant for herbivores. Ixnay on the nori as well. That's fine with me, but I worry about getting enough veggies in the diet. Any thoughts?

Have you tried spirulina algae flakes? I add a 1/2 those, 1/2 prime reef(purple container), and my yellow tang and rabbitfish eat a mix between the two. Almost like they cant decifer between the two. Try a combo of them, and see if that helps. Worth a shot..
