Is this Blenny reef safe ?

[Kojek]

Hi folks

any ideas on whether this Bleeny is reef safe ?

Its has red spots ( not a scooter or a hawk fish )

Cheers

If it looks anything like the picture below, it might be a Leopard Blenny (Exallias brevis).

It feeds on coral tissues, particularly Acropora, Pocillopora, Seriatopora, Porites, and Millepora.

Great god. You bought Exallias brevis, Leopard Blenny.

To almost six inches in length in the wild. Obligate feeders on live coral polyps. Definitely NOT reef safe. Still offered on pet-fish markets on occasion. A male in Oahu, Hawai'i female at a marine wholesalers in L.A. starving...
