SRC Member peong Posted August 20, 2012 SRC Member Share Posted August 20, 2012 Here the first one: 1. Leopard Blanny Quited from internet: "The Leopard Blenny ( Exallias brevis ) is not commonly seen in the aquarium trade. It has a stout body with a spectacular brown and white honeycomb pattern, and yellow tint in the fins. This blenny is a generally community fish but, unlike most other blennies, it is not reef safe . They naturally feed heavily on stony coral polyps in the wild and should be provided with corals to feed on in the home aquarium..." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just discoverted that this guy not only a SPS killer but will also kill some of the LPS. I had removed a few pcs of SPS and now saw this guy start to attack my Red Brain.

honkit Posted August 20, 2012 Share Posted August 20, 2012 Leopard blennies are obligate polyp eaters so no coral is safe with this little buggers around in a reef tank. In reality, there aren't too many truly reef safe fishes available for a captive system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cedricang Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 Leopard Blenny has been mentioned under the same SPS and advance reefing topic before. For further observation on other reef safe / Non-reef safe / 50-50 chance specimens, can refer to following for additional info : Quote Treat others the way you wanna be treated...
