Would a starry blenny work in this tank? Anyone know if they get aggressive with wrasses or would be aggressive toward the goby? Thanks!
 
I'd say definitely, I've kept these types of blennies in my tanks for years and bristle tooth tangs are the only ones that I've ever seen have issues with them. That being said the bristle tooth tangs usually get the raw end of the deal and git nipped by the blenny. You just see a gum mark on their side but it goes away in a few days at most. My current starry blenny I've had mine for 5 years and the only fish that are aggressive with him is the my Kole Tang.
