The Leopard Blenny is quite an attractive specimen that catches the eye of alot of aquarists. The sad fact is that the Leopard Blenny's primary source of food is stony coral polyps and rarely eats introduced aquarium food. This specimen is best left on the reef unless you have the means to provide it with a constant supply of coral polyps to eat, otherwise it will probably slowly starve to death |

The Leopard Blenny (Exallias brevis) is sometimes called a Honeycomb Blenny. It belongs to the family named Blenniidae. Typically reaching a max size of about 5.8 inches in length, the Leopard Blenny is generally passive in nature and moderately hardy in stamina. It's more active during the daytime and less at night, and will hang out or do best in the rock structures. According to FishDB current data, captive breeding success is unreported and there are no external signs of sexual differences. Exallias brevis should not be housed in a tank less than 55 gallons in size. Tank parameters should be maintained with ph level between 8.1 - 8.3, temperature between 77 - 79 degrees fahrenheit, and a salinity between 1.020 - 1.023. Some of the environmental concerns that you should strive to replicate in your home aquaria to promote succesful acclimation include plenty of hiding places.
