Exallias is a genus of combtooth blennies known for the popular aquarium inhabitant, the Leopard Blenny (Exallias brevis). This species is admired for its distinctive leopard-like spots and its bold personality. It is a herbivore, primarily feeding on algae in the wild, but in captivity, it may accept a variety of prepared foods.

They are best suited for larger aquariums with ample rockwork and established algae growth to mimic their natural habitat.
