Two Blennies?
I currently have a 75g reef tank with a Starry Blenny and was wondering if I can add a Midas or Canary Blenny? They do have a different shape and swimming pattern than the Starry! Thanks for any advice!

I know that the tailspot is compatible with the starry. The starry is a fairly laidback and timid blenny compared to the lawnmower.

I have asked this on here before as I am interested in both a Starry and midas blenny. As you suggested, because they do not resemble one another and have some difference in eating habits, several reefers have kept both a starry and midas blenny without any issues of aggression. I was happy to hear this as I hope to keep both! Good luck!

Can not say for certain but I would tend to believe they will be fine together. I have kept a LMB with a Midas before with absolutely no issues and I would think the Starry would be the same if not even more laid back.

Speaking from personal experience with both, you should be fine. I've had a starry and midas for roughly 3.5 years and have had zero issues. Starry was in first, but when I introduced the midas, they sorta chased each others tails for a few minutes and then all was good and has been since. Be wary about adding another Salarius type blenny, though (Lawnmower, Seram, etc.) They will likely fight with the starry.
