Long story short, the LFS ordered a two spot blenny instead of a Tail spot for me. I wasnt really interested but was thinking he looked pretty cool. Not colorful but he does have a silver reflective stripe. I was thinking maybe I could do a two spot and a tailspot in my Fluval Evo 13.5? The only livestock beside coral is a 1" frostbite clown and a cleaner shrimp. Thoughts?

They can get aggressive towards other blennies and I’m assuming your tang is 13.5 gallons. If you decide to do it be prepared to catch whichever one is getting bullied and return him to LFS if you can’t look after him. That’s our responsibility as fish keepers. Goodluck mate
 
I personally wouldn't. I've attempted, note attempted, pairs in bigger tanks and always had to separate them after a few months. These little fish can be very territorial when it comes to protecting their space. Either are great little fish however so I'd pick your favourite.
