About Leopard Blenny
The Leopard Blenny is a small, elongated blenny with a tan to brown base coloration heavily marked with dark brown or black spots and saddle patterns, giving it its "leopard" appearance. It has a steep forehead, small tentacles above the eyes, and reaches about 5 inches at maturity. The body is typically deeper in profile than many other blennies, with a slightly compressed midsection.
