They are pretty peaceful. I had one in with some gobies, clowns, and firefish without issue. The tank was 180g and each stayed in slightly different part of the tank.
 
Mine is kind of a jerk. I thought they school with lyretails, hence the orange color, blue eyes thing, but mine really doesn't appreciate any anthias near him. He'll go at it with my clowns and other fish too, sometimes. Nothing physical, just lots of posturing.
 
I have a midas blenny in my 29g tank. It's probaly a little under four inches, so it is almost full grown. I have an ocellaris clownfish, copper cardinal, and a tangaroa goby. I have seen a little torn fin on my clown, but other than that, my blenny is very peaceful.
 
I have a 3-4" Midas with two clowns in a 29. Very peaceful and friendly and been in this tank for almost a year. He will be moving into a 125gal in short order though.
 
midas do not grow fast from what I have experienced over the years. I've owned 4 or 5 and they have never bothered any of my fish except other midas. I had 2 4ish inch midas blennies in my tank until recently when one ejected himself. They would chased each other for a bit but after awhile they seeed to get along fine with a scuffle every now and then, Frankly they are by far my favorite fish. Great personalities and most of the time they are real active. They can get a big larger but its gonna take a long time. I will be adding another midas to my tank as soon as I get a nice lid for it. I;ve lost too many fish to a open tank.

I also kept a 4 inch midas in a 25g tank along with a sixline and tomato clown. They can be housed in a smaller tank with no issues imo
 
Most Midas Blinnie's are model citizens. Every once in a while you'll get one that is a wholly terror. I had one that attacked any fish that got close, and even bit me.
