I'm new at this aspect of iNat so it might be the wrong place to start this list.
No worries if so.
Wrt criteria for adding a client species, I'm only going to include species for which I personally have images showing direct contact with one or more western cleaner Clingfish. Perhaps later I could look at the practicalities of including species for which I don't have supporting images but other divers do (issues including consent, links etc deter me at present).

Nb: not in any order, alphabetical or historical. I'll simply rely on memory for now, but all species listed should have at least one of my iNat images as evidence.
Banded Seaperch
Western Talma
Harlequin Fish
Bluespotted Goatfish
Magpie Perch
Old Wife
Brownspotted Wrasse
