What class does the clown fish belong to and why?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Clownfish belong to the family of fish called Pomacentridae (poma + CENTRI + die/dee), which also includes the damselfish.

Fish of this family typically live in shallow tropical waters, near coral reefs, and are very brightly coloured. During the breeding season, males clear an area for the female to lay her eggs, and then guard that area against predators.

Why do other fish get stung by anemones not clownfish?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

because they have a special kind of goo on their skin that keeps them from feeling the sting.

Or a better answer would be. The clown fish will swim around the anemone picking up some of its cells. After a few passes, the clown fish will have enough cells to trick the anemone into thinking that the fish is an anemone itself.

Do clownfish like to live in saltwater?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

yes, it can.. In fact mine is leaving with ayellow tang, clown fish, another tang and a batfish ... Ive had him for almost 1.5 years and yet nothing bad have happened.. At first its a little bit hard to feed since its a slow moving fish, but feeding it frozen food which will spread easily it wont be a problem. Mine swims normally by the fish and eats the food right by the other fish.. This would take some time but it will happen. Unless i got an unshy sea horse and a fast moving one.
