Lawn Mower and a Yellow Watchman???

[wvdiscus]

Good Evening,

I have had a Lawn Mowner Blenny in my tank for a couple of weeks. Yesterday I received a Yellow watchman goby. I did plenty of research before the purchase (especially here). The majority of the sentiment was LMB and a YWG could be kept in the same tank (55 gallon). This was mainly due to the reasoning that a LMB stayed mostly on the rock and a YWG stand mostly on the sand bed. Well, I came home from work this evening and actually found my YWG out on the sand bed, looks in good shape. I then watched the LMB come over and chase him for a while. There is no visible damage to my Goby...yet. Is this going to be like in freshwater fish where a fish will bully a newbie for a couple days to a week to show it's dominance, or is this something that will go on for the length the two are in the same tank?

Thanks for any info.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid is going to happen here...the YWG is hiding on the top of a power head right now...I think I might try to catch the LMB and take him to the LFS tomorrow...get some credit for him anyway...

Well, I took the LMB back to the LFS...I came home a little while ago and I saw the YWG standing guard over an entrance and the tiger pistol shrimp digging out a den for them...right in FRONT!!!! All I can say is awesome.
