Yellow watchman goby or tailspot blenny?

[Parsely]

I'm somewhat new to this hobby and have a 13.5g tank currently with 2 clowns and a small CUC that's been running for a couple of months. I want to get another fish in there and am having a hard time deciding between either a yellow watchman goby w. a pistol shrimp or a tailspot blenny. Just looking for peoples opinions on either of these fish to help me make a decision!

Thanks!

I sort of have both. I have a tailspot and a high fin goby with a shrimp. I love the interaction with the tailspot.

watchmaan goby are susceptible to bacteria issues but good fish.
Tailspot will scavenge but also address algae and more out in open to enjoy than watchman

blenny is better, it may be not enough room for the goby

Tell tailspot blenny is way more active than a yellow watchman. And they will eat algae sometimes.

What do you mean by interaction with the tailspot?

Nice pictures! Love their goofy face

Interaction with the other fish, the tank itself. He doesn't hide, except to sleep.
"more out in open to enjoy"

This. Way more outgoing. A lot like a Hawkfish.

Tailspot blenny! I have both but the Tailspot is way more fun to watch. And my watchman/pistol pair do nothing but cover my corals with sand. Kind of regret that addition to be honest.

Definitely leaning this way now! Thanks for the input!
