I have a Molly Miller Blennie, can I add a Lawnmower Blennie to my tank. I need an hair algae eater and the molly miller isn't doing it.

You should be fine - just be forewarned that lawnmower blennies generally need a lot of real estate to keep them happy long-term. And they don't always go for the algae that you want... (I have one and the little sucker grazes on pretty much everything).

By everything do you mean corals?

lawnmower blenny will 100% kill that molly miller. Get more molly millers if you just need more mouths going. They will eat dang near anything when hungry. Cyano and detritus even. They'll even snatch bristle worms, but i don't think they enjoy that spicy food
