A dwarf flame angel or one of the smaller colorful wrasses.

How long have your blennies been together? They often fight and people say to only keep one per tank. Just curious since I really want to add a second one to my 155G.
Anyways, I'd add a dwarf angel or a fairy wrasse (the mc cosker is really nice). I just added a fairy wrasse to my tank and he's really cool to watch swim around.
There's so many options:
Firefish
Royal Gramma
Cardinals
Goby
Dwarf Angel
Fairy Wrasse
Clown Gobies (a complete waste in my opinion, I have 6 and never see them!)
Good luck

My Blennies have been together for about 3 months.
No fighting at all.
Each to their own areas, they allow each other to swim freely.. I was amazed at this, because I had also heard they fought a lot!

That makes me feel more hopeful. Are they about the same size? Were they added at the same time?

Funny thing, The Bi-Color was added about 5 months before the Lawnmower. The lawnmower is about 3 times bigger, But the Bi-Color has been around longer, I think that kinda balanced it out! haha

When mixing species that tend not to work, multiple angels, same genus tangs, etc, that's usually one of the keys to help with success. Either add a new fish that's significantly larger, or smaller, then the existing one.

That's what I'm looking to do if I add a second. I have a Black Combtooth right now, but I really miss my Lawnmower Blenny. I'm thinking of getting a huge fat one if I do decide to get one. I have added a ton of fish to my tank lately so we'll see.
