I have heard stories about this blenny being aggressive towards other fish.

Mine is fairly tame although I've seen it chase a blue damsel out of his
rabbit hole. He roams the entire 110g tank, but seems mostly content to
sit and watch happenings both inside and outside of the tank. I wonder
what goes on in its little head sometimes. I've seen my tang and
blenny feed on the nori simultaneously. No fireworks.

But, Pszemol is right. Definitely think about what you want and plan
accordingly to avoid aggression.

thanks for the comments. i only plan on having 4 or 5 fish in my 58g
as i would like to get anemones and coral when the time is right.

anemone ... singular, not plural, and you might want to reconsider
even putting that many in there if this is your first SW tank. They
can be can be problematic and difficult to keep in the long term,
exceedingly so when you mix them with other cnidarians (eg. corals or
even other anemone species/genera). Too many people give up on this
hobby due to early catastrophic failures, and I'd hate to see another
one - I'm sure most other hobbyists would agree.

Sounds like I shoould start with the clownfish i want, or go with a
damsel? i have been considering a talbot damsel.

Honestly, since this is your first SW tank, a clownfish or lesser
aggressive damsel is an excellent choice. Down the road when your tank
is matured and you're ready for a new challenge you can always swap
the clownfish out for something more exotic and put it in a small,
dedicated 20g or 30g tank with your first anemone (they are much
easier to keep in a species-only or dedicated system)

are there any issues you've heard about keeping blennies and gobies
together? i expect that have similar habitat needs. and gobies can get
alot bigger (in my field experience, anyway).

In a tank that size I'd say you'd stand a good chance of seeing some
aggression if you add a blenny and a goby (or even 2 blennies/ 2
gobies) so do some careful research before purchasing and careful
monitoring after adding the fish. Also be aware that many benthic
dwelling (sand-dwelling) fish have specific substrate needs and can
also topple rocks that aren't secured properly by digging the sand out
from under them.

Good luck and welcome to the hobby - and my condolences to your
wallet!
