How to explain the origin of clown fish name to children? Is it because you are ugly?

While playing with children, they were stuck with clown fish. The children asked strangely, "It's pretty, not ugly at all. How can it be called clown fish?" I pointed to the clown fish and explained that it was because he always had one or several white stripes, just like the clown in our play, so he was named clown fish. In fact, in the end, human beings named the fish for convenience.

Later, I took my children to the aquarium to observe the clown fish. In Ocean Park, clownfish and anemones live in the same box. They are symbiotic, that is to say, neither of them can live without the other. I explained it to the children and observed it myself.

I especially like this way of learning from books but leaving them behind. It seems that children are easy to accept.
