I was considering adding a black comb tooth Blenny and transparent cave goby to my JBJ 45, but just wanted to check to here others opinion before making any purchase.
My current fish are a coral beauty, a clownfish, a banghaii cardinal, a (Biota) mandarin dragonet, yellow coris wrasse, and two blue green chromis. I have a longbose hawk in QT, and would add the two fish to the QT tank with him before adding all 3 to the reef.
From what I could read neither of the fish seem very aggressive and would be good fits. I’d add a nori strip for the coral beauty and the Blenny or two the formula 2 flakes I’ve seen recommended on other threads.

My only comment is IMHO you are getting very close to having enough/too many fish in a 45g tank.

Definitely. The filtration should’nt be a problem as I have a gallon of pond matrix in the sump and two skimmers. Everyone gets along right now but I know any additional fish may tip the scale to aggression.
I’m considering a flametail Blenny over the black comb tooth as I’ve seen a few threads about them eating SPS.

I have a transparent cave goby in my big tank. They are awesome. I have a pink spot diamond also with no issues they have created a little neighborhood on one side of the tank. The cave goby has a great personality and will eat anything. I mean anything he will be fine with your current stock. They are really neat fish. He will dig and make a house but once he is finished he will be very active and out. They are little pigs though. Good luck and enjoy him!
