Actually Midas Blenny is not fang blenny so they don’t have any poison. Also midas blenny form a relationship with lyretail anthias and swim together in the wild to blend in from predators.
No problem. But I heard that you supposed to not mix different kind of firefishes. Mine sleep in the same cave though.No problems with the two firefish together?
Loving that nemo. That is a nice anemone he gets to play with.Three faves
I had a group of Ventralis Anthias:
Genicanthus Bellus (females are beautiful and completely reef safe):
Clowns! Of course. Hosted in a nice anemone like a magnifica. My favorite are Ocellaris:

Now this has me looking into blennies i allways avoided them because of poison
Glad to see your blenny curiosity has been piqued. As ewcc1993 sort of mentioned, midas blennies and the other types of comb-toothed blennies are not venomous, only fang blennies are. And even then, it is often misunderstood. They're not aggressive with it in any way. Rather they use it to defend from larger prey ... typically biting a larger fish that is trying to eat them on the inside of their mouth in an effort to escape.
I've only once heard of anyone on the forums being bitten by one ... while removing live rock from his tank and not realizing his blenny was hiding in a hole he partial blocked with his thumb when picking up the rock. Here are couple of articles on it if you're interested in learning a little more about 'em.
