I’m not sure who decided on the common name of Clown Fish. I’m sure it is because of the bright and vibrant colors. Both clowns and clown fish have a white hue that becomes even brighter when exposed to bright or florescent light. You could always call the fish by its proper name in the subfamily of “amphiprioninae” I prefer Clown Fish.
