do you have a sump? how long has your tank been running? you have a good bit of LR in your tank, which is good, but i'm always leary about adding more than one pod-eating fish, especially if you dont run a fuge in your system. you could do it, but if you dont have a fuge where the pods can reproduce then you are dealing with fish that are going to feed off a finite amount of food. you could always buy pods from your LFS, but they are expensive, like $20 for 400 and these fish go through them pretty quickly

The redlip is the most aggressive blenny there is in the hobby IMO and actually has canines in his mouth to use in fights or during flight away from predators.....it is a carnivore......the LB is an algae eater and has comblike teeth to remove algae from rocks........if they fight you will probably lose the LB..........
Both are extremely territorial to other bottom dwellers.
If you do it, you will have to add them both at the same time, make sure they get put on opposite sides of the tank, make sure you have tons of caves for them to hide in and be prepared to remove the LB to the other tank ASAP.....

LMBs eat pods?

yeah, sorry about that. i had 2 scooter blennies that got super skinny in my 125 because there weren't enough pods. for some reason i always get lawnmower blennies and scooter blennies confused. that's my fault, sorry for the misinformation
