Lepadichthys lineatus
Lepadichthys lineatus, also known as the twoline clingfish, doubleline clingfish or doublestripe feather star clingfish, is a small clingfish (up to 45 mm in length) which lives among the arms of crinoids. They adapt their colors to the host Crinoids as Crinoids comes in variety of colors. This helps them to camouflage themselves. They are also very difficult to photograph as they tends to hide in the core of the Crinoids and the Crinoids have many arms that they curled up when touched.
