In any case, clownfish don't school. In the wild I believe clownfish do stay in family groups for a while, not the same as schooling by any means, however as each fish matures they are forced out of the area by the dominant female and move on to form their own group or join a female somewhere else.

Ctenophores, variously known as comb jellies, sea gooseberries, sea walnuts, or Venus's girdles, are voracious predators.

Clowns are very social and do best with buddies. That being said I have known them to buddy up with other types of fish. I had a trio of loaches 6 years ago and also had an ich outbreak. It killed every single fish in the tank excluding one loach.
