I had a Tomini not long ago and seemed to have gotten along with my blennys but the blennys were only 2-3" long then. My lawnmover is now over 4" long and fat as ever... will the blenny take on and dominate any bristle tooth or vise versa?

Are other blennys just as good a grazer as a lawnmover? May consider making a blenny change in the future if I still want a Kole...
