I have a 16 gal Nuvo, with tons of rock and coral.
Current live stock is only:
1 gold stripe maroon clown
1 bicolor blenny
harlequin+cleaner shrimp
CUC

I knew the GSM would get more aggressive eventually, and he starting to get that way recently.
I love my bicolor blenny and I know that blenny compatibility is very strict.

So my question is, If I get rid of the GSM, is there ANY other blennys that could go in with him? even another bicolor. The one I have seems to be nice..except for biting me once, everyime my hands go in the tank, then leaves me alone. He doesn't bother the GSM, but the GSM chases him when he gets too close.


Another side note, I have an mp10. Whenever I turn it off, the bicolor LOVES hanging out in it. When it comes back on he tries to get back in but can't, because the flow is too strong. So what if the flow is on the lowest setting (I use reef crest), and he manages to get in there..Is there going to be blenny smoothie? I feel like this has happened to other people before lol
 
Blennies tend to be very territorial with each other. The bicolor is one of the more territorial blennies and probably won't play well with other blennies.

But maybe perhaps a barnacles blenny? They tend to hang out in different areas so it might work.
