Rhinolepadichthys lineatus, also known as the twoline clingfish, doubleline clingfish or doublestripe feather star clingfish, is a small clingfish (up to 45 mm (1.8 in) in length) which lives among the arms of crinoids.[2][3][4] This species has an Indo-Pacific distribution from the Red Sea to Fiji, however, this is scattered rather than continuous and it has been recorded off Israel, Oman, the Seychelles, Sri Lanka and Yemen.[1]
