One fish species that can be classified is the clownfish (Amphiprioninae). Clownfish are a type of saltwater fish that belong to the family Pomacentridae. They are known for their vibrant colors and distinctive markings, including white stripes on their bodies. Clownfish are also known for their symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, which provide them with protection from predators in exchange for food scraps. Clownfish are found in the warm waters of the Indian and Pacific Oceans, typically in coral reefs. They are omnivorous and feed on algae, plankton, and small invertebrates. Clownfish are popular aquarium fish due to their striking appearance and interesting behavior.
