I have a 5-6" long Engineer Goby, which I just learned is also called a Convict Blenny.

I'm looking to add a Starry Blenny that I'm getting for free into the same tank. Will there be any issues? The Goby is not aggressive, and will be bigger than the Starry, twice the size.

The Engineer hides under the rocks in the sand, the Starry I believe rock hops from top to top like a rock fish.

Any input would be great. 93g Cube
 
I have both in my 120 and have never had any problems. Sometimes the engineer will shoo the blenny from near one of his burrows but has never shown aggression.
 
There won't be any issues. They both occupy different niches in a tank.
