yellow stripe clingfish???

anyone know anything on these fish? I am planning a fish stocking list and saw this fish on www.liveaquaria.com and thought it was cool.. I have a 20 gallon 24"x24"x9" deep with a 10 gallon sump/refugium.

I plan on putting a small tank bred clown, a small sixline wrasse, and possibly a clingfish..

sounds like the clingfish is a "hit or miss" on keeping it alive. I found this post in a search:

good luck!

Getting them to eat is the hard part, and they do well with an urchin in the tank to hide in. Like clownfish and anemones, it isn't 100% necessary, but by allowing it a more natural environment, it will reduce the stress some, and possibly allow it a higher chance of eating.

Actually these guys eat the tube feet of urchins, that is their main diet. That site you linked is incorrect as to their food requirements.
They are also hard to photograph.
