Unfortunately the odds are that you won't fine someone that has tried that particular fish on this forum.
Best to go by the "orgs" tankmate list and if it is acceptable there the odds should be in your favour.
Of course, there are fish not recommended that sometimes work out, just as some that ARE recommended do NOT work out.
Just like reef fish compatibility, no 100% guarantee.

I would say no.... It would out-compete for food (most blennies are opportunistic feeders). Also, I would just hate to see it start trying to scrape algae off of a seahorse!

Scooter blennies have tiny mouths, eat very daintily and are more like Mandarin gobies than Lawnmower or Black Sailfin blennies.

Scooters would be fine, if it will eat frzn. foods.
