Just like the title states, my new Midas Blenny seems to like to swim with/around my One-Spot Foxface... And seems to try to "rest" or "perch" on top of the Foxface, to which the Foxface immediately flashes his spikes and the Blenny "jumps off" as they are starting to flash out... So... Should I be worried of the Midas Blenny getting stung/killed by my Foxface here...? :headwalls:

Yes, there is a good chance that your blenny may get spiked. I lost my yellow watchman goby to a foxface. Poor thing was just trying to defend it's burrow.
I'd be hard pressed to get a video of it as it happens seemingly at random, but believe me, my gf told me it was happening and I didn't believe her till I saw it a bit later
It doesn't help that the Midas Blenny chose it's "hole" in a spot next to where the Foxface would hang out at
The Foxface certainly isn't being a bully though, if anything the Midas Blenny is antagonizing by trying to sit on top of the Foxface :blown:
Oddly enough I have seen my Foxface bully before, it was when I first released my Rose Band Fairy Wrasse from an acclimation box after 3-ish days. For the first day, any time the wrasse tried to come out and swim the Foxface would charge at him with his spikes flashed and the wrasse would run and hide for a few minutes. After lights-out that night it stopped happening, thankfully. The Foxface has never cared about a new addition until that one wrasse, everything else was always ignored (at least from an aggressive stand-point, he does like to try and swim with some of my fish, especially my Diamond Goby who hates it when the Foxface follows behind him :lol: )
