Adding geometric pygmy hawkfish to a tank with tailspot blenny?

[Biocube32]

Can/should it be done successfully? Tailspot is currently in a 32 with no other veterbrate occupants. Both are supposed to be peaceful. I have heard pygmy hawkfish can sometimes have issues with blennies and gobies. Pygmy hawkfish is listed as compatible with blennies on liveaquaria on the chart. Also, I believe the pygmy hawkfish is not a true hawkfish and technically from a seperate family so maybe not as aggressive as typical hawkfish?

Thoughts?

I had this exact pair in a 38gal. They lived together peacefully. You’re right in that the geometric hawkfish isn’t an actual hawkfish. It’s very peaceful but also likes to perch and watch like a standard hawkfish. People say if you place it in a tank with a ton of live rock you will hardly see it. I didn’t have too much live rock in my display and he was out and about a lot.

Just don’t add a Candy Hogfish to the mix unless you want to have to remove the geometric hawkfish in order to save it from getting beaten up and chased endlessly.

It will be fine, two great fish that are great together
