Meiacanthus atrodorsalis (forktail blenny) have enlarged teeth that are venemous. it is said they give a sharp pain to humans. will it KILL a fish tankmate if it decides to bite one?

also, would one mix well with a midas blenny or would there be aggression/territory issues in a 125 gallon tank?

I've been bitten before. More painful than a bee sting, though that may be because those darn fangs are BIG, more so than the pain from the venom anyways.
