The clown fish belongs to the phylum Chordata because it possesses the defining characteristics of this group at some stage in its life cycle. These features include a notochord, a dorsal nerve cord, pharyngeal slits, and a post-anal tail. As a member of the class Actinopterygii (ray-finned fishes), clown fish also exhibit a backbone made of vertebrae, further classifying them within Chordata. Additionally, they are warm-water marine fish known for their symbiotic relationships with sea anemones.
