Got a really cool dragon goby today and my blenny is picking on him a bit. They are in a 125g tank with a lot of room an hiding places. I did some research before and everything this should be a very low risk pair. Not much I can do now anyway, just curious if anyone else has had any issues like this.

Lawnmower Blennies are known to become aggressive with maturity, especially those with the same body type. I know this doesn't help you, but just for others to see. If the aggression continues, I would recommend catching one and re-homing it either temporarily or permanently.

Just added the goby today and have had the blenny for a couple weeks now. Blenny is good size but so is the goby. Things seemed to cool off after a bit. Everyone is good for now. Will see how it goes tomorrow. Thanks for the feedback.
