Wikipedia
clingfish
Clingfishes are fishes of the family Gobiesocidae, the only family in the order Gobiesociformes. These fairly small to very small fishes are widespread in tropical and temperate regions, mostly near the coast, but a few species in deeper seas or fresh water. Most species shelter in shallow reefs or seagrass beds, clinging to rocks, algae and seagrass leaves with their sucking disc, a structure on their chest.They are generally too small to be of interest to fisheries, although the relatively large Sicyases sanguineus regularly is caught as a food fish, and some of the other species occasionally appear in the marine aquarium trade.

clingfish
Clingfish are a type of small marine fish found in tropical and subtropical regions. They are named for their ability to attach themselves to rocks, plants, and other surfaces using a strong sucking disc on their underside, which is actually a modified pelvic fin. They typically have a flattened, elongated body and are usually less than 10 cm long. They are known for their robust nature and capability to withstand harsh environments.
