Hi I am also interested in them. Alhtough I have never seen one for real, but from what I have read:
1 should be kept in a tank unless the aquarium is very large.
These links should help a little.

Live Aquaria as you can see normally sell them but you have to wait some months for them to get one in. They aren't cheap but worth the money imo.
You are probably better off starting with an Orangethroat Pikeblenny as they only reach to around 6".

I've got three right now, 2 in my 150 gallon and one smaller one in my nano tank. The ones I have now are Yellow Faced Pike Blennies that come from the Caribbean. I also have a male and female Caribbean Sailfin Blenny in with them. Wasn't sure how that many tube Blennies would do together, but they all have found there own areas, and get along fine.
If you get one get some tubes for them to live in. I suggest you find some vacant coco worm tubes. PVC tubes work but doesn't look natural. What I do now is put the tubes in the quarantine tank and then just move the tube with the blenny into the display. If the fish is going straight to the display you can put the tube into the container your acclimating them in, in 30 minutes or so they will probably find there way into the tube. I've got a few threads on RC with pics and vids. Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

itsfreakingmatt,
Per my earlier note if you cannot find vacant coco worm tube you can get a piece of PVC and glue it into a barnacle to make it look more natural (per the pic below). Once everything is in a while and the coraline algae starts to take over it will look pretty natural. The pic below was when I first made it so it doesn't look that great at that point.
