Clingfishes are fishes of the family Gobiesocidae. Most species are marine, being found in shallow waters of the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans. They are bottom-dwelling fishes; some species shelter in sea urchins or crinoids. In most species the pelvic fins are modified into a sucking disc.[1]
[edit] Classification
The classification of the clingfishes varies. FishBase places Gobiescoidae the only family in the order Gobiesociformes;[2] Some other classifications, for example ITIS, place them in the suborder Gobiesocoidei of the order Perciformes.[3]
