Leopard Blenny

Can be mistaken for an algae eating blenny as its similar in size and looks, but with a higher dorsal fin and reddish spot coloration. Requires a varied diet and 'will' feed on coral polyps and soft corals. It is difficult to entice the Leopard Blenny to eat in an aquarium, and therefore, should only be kept by very experienced aquarists who can supply its special diet of stony coral polyps. It may begin to eat occasional frozen herbivore preparations, vitamin-enriched brine shrimp, or mysid shrimp. If it does, it should be fed three times per day. Highly territorial! The Leopard Blenny grows to 14cm in length.
