Genus
Common name: Leopard Blenny
Scientific name: Exallias
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. Leopard Blennies are known to be territorial and may show aggression towards other blennies or similarly shaped fish. They are best suited for larger aquariums with ample rockwork and established algae growth to mimic their natural habitat.
