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.
