Blue spotted goby question

[fishrich]

Can I have a lawnmower bleeny in my tank along with a blue spotted goby? I wanted to add a lawnmower but I wasn't sure if they can get along. The tank is a 45 gallon. Also the lawnmower is invert safe right? Thanks!

blue spot goby or jawfish?
just making sure.
either will probably get along fine with a lawnmower blenny as long they have each have enough rocks to hide in and such... the lawnmower may pick occasionally at soft corals trying to get to algae.

its a goby.. Ive never heard that the lawnmower will pick at soft corals. I have a colt and a toadstool..I have plenty of rock work.I'm wondering if I should take the chance now

its up to you.. they're algae eaters so sometimes zoanthid polyps fall off while they're yanking algae... not that big of a deal imo..
