Pavoclinus myae, Mya's klipfish, is a species of clinid found from East London to Algoa Bay along the coast of South Africa where it can be found in the subtidal zone from near the surface to 3 metres (9.8 ft). It can reach a maximum length of 5 centimetres (2.0 in) TL.[2] This species feeds primarily on amphipods, isopods and tanaids.[3] The specific name honours the author's then fiancée, Mya van Harten.[4]
