Lawnmower Blenny Eating my Gorgonia!

Ugh...I think I may have made a mistake. I bought one of these guys a couple days ago and, as many people have indicated in these online forums, he isn't eating the pellets. I noticed him perched yesterday in my gorgonia, and today, I saw him pecking away at it!!! Haven't seen anything about this online. Wondering if anyone has had this experience?

More than anything, I don't want this little guy to be hungry. Thinking I should get algae sheets stat...but wondering if people have had phosphate problems with algae?

Sigh...not sure this was the right purchase. Want all my fish to be happy!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have never had gorgonia but have had plenty of Blennies. Never had issue with them eating any coral. They will eat the algae from around the corals but never he coral itself.

I do supply algae sheet for mine and have no phosphate issues.
