I think Blennies are hilarious, and while searching to see if there was such a thing as a brackish blenny I found this:

Anyone have any experience with these guys, or even heard of/seen them?

my LFS has them I think. The other day I saw some Blennies that were labelled Brackish but I dont know anything about them. They were in with about 20 or 30 small Mono Sebae. Really cool looking tank actually.

Zebra blennies are very uncommonly traded, so if you ever see them, they're worth snapping up. They're more brackish to marine fish than anything else, but I'm sure they'll thrive at SG 1.010.
Broadly speaking, the blennies sold as freshwater/brackish fish are territorial, sensitive to low oxygen concentrations, and sometimes subtropical. I've kept coldwater marine blennies and they're great fun, but they do come on land to cool down. At the very least I'd make sure your blennies can't jump out of the tank by accident.
