I am combining two tanks and I have a bi color in one and a lawnmower in the other. It is 120 gallon aquarium. Does anyone have experience with both in the same reef?

I had both in a 125. Released the bicolor at the opposite end than the lawnmower and had two barnacle clusters on each end for them. All was good about 2 weeks until the lawnmower decided to swim across the tank and noticed the bi color for the first time. He relentlessly went after him and didnt let up. Had to pull the barnacle with the bi color inside to get him out and chase the lawnmower out of the barnacle. Rehomed the bicolor. Would 10/10 not put any blenny with a lawnmower lol little devils!

Fish are amazing, I just added a six line to my system and was worried about him taking the tank over. It was my blue green chromis that went after him relentlessly for a few days. Now the six line just keeps to himself and eats my flat Worms.
