Yes I've heard them called skillet fish or cling fish. They don't hurt anything in the tank.

Yeah, that's a clingfish, y cousin caught one. They are pretty cool looking, and entertaining too.

Skillet fish for sure (gets to 3"), I had one for over a year and a half. Came to the point where my wife could hand feed him, and believe it or not, it would come up just so that she could pet him. Greatest fish ever. If you decide not to keep him be sure and let me know, my wife would love another.
