Who decided that "Clown Fish" was a good name, anyway?

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.

My original tweet asking this question in a much more colorful and excitable manner was actually a joke. What if clown fish are afraid of clowns?

Clownfish or anemone fish is a type of fish which makes its home among the stinging tentacles of a sea anemone or in some cases settle in some varieties of soft corals, or large polyp stony corals. This fish mostly can be found in an area where warm waters of the Pacific and Indian Oceans,warm climates make it more suitable for the fish to live and breed.
