Leaning towards getting a jawfish because i heard they make dens like pistol shrimp. What types of jaw-fish would be good for my tank.

Tank inhabitants:
2 clownfish
3 pj cardinals
Conchs
Snails
1 pencil urchin
1 large yellow watchman goby
1 cleaner shrimp
Corals

The yellow head jawfish does the best in a reef tank. The bluespot usually struggles with reef temperatures as it is a colder water species from California and Mexicos colder west coast.

Gotcha, I'm looking for a smaller size fish to kinda fill in the tank a tiny bit more. Any other ideas?
maybe Tailspot Blenny, a Firefish (risk of jumping), or a sharknose goby (also a jumper).

all pretty docile, on the smaller side and should get along with that tank. I've seen Firefish sharing burrows with Watchman gobies, so thats also something that might happen if you go with it.

I‘ve been looking at tail spots, they’re really cool. I used to have a lawnmower blenny, when I wasn’t As experienced in the hobby. Would a lawnmower be good in my tank and are they aggressive or anything?

I have an Ora Neon Goby and it's a spectacular neon blue color. Mine is pretty active throughout the day. Perches on the rocks here and there and occasionally tries to clean my clown fish.
