i thought clowns were in the damsel family.

They are. They are all pomacentrids (family pomacentridae). Clowns are separated by some into the subfamily amphiprioninae. Others don't recognize that level of separation.

To give another example of what a family means, humans, gorillas, chimps, orangs and australopithecines are (or were) all in the same family, hominidae.

So, the point I am trying to make is that lumping clowns with damsels is like saying people and orangs are similar. Same basic body plan, but I wouldn't let my sister date one.
