Starry Blenny

Would I be able to put a starry blenny in my fairly new tank? 6 weeks old - all fish are doing fine.

I'm wanting a bottom dweller to complete my tank and they look pretty cute. I have:

2 clowns
1 firefish
1 green clown goby
1 midas blenny

I have a midas blenny but he hangs out at the top. I want to make sure it'd have enough algae to eat.
 
You should be ok. IME, they don't eat algae as much as the lawnmowers do (They tend to eat more of a variety.) I've had mine for over 3 years and up until the past couple months, he never really touched any algae in the tank (Except maybe some film on the back glass.) Seaweed clips are a good supplement for them and mine eats mysis, pellets, (Hairs on my arm when I put it in the tank), just about anything. (I also have a midas and they get along fine.)

Out of all my fish, the starry is my favorite. They really have one of the neatest personalities and their eyebrows are awesome.
 
A starry blenny is a great fish.. they do have a neat personality and will readily eat pellet food,etc...
