Clinus nematopterus, the Chinese klipfish, that occurs in subtropical waters of the Atlantic Ocean where, despite its common name, it is endemic to South Africa , the common name having derived from a locality error in the original description. This species can reach a maximum length of 11 centimetres (4.3 in) TL.[2] This species feeds on benthic crustaceans (amphipods, isopods, ostracods) and also takes other fishes.[3]
