Nah. Think of fish - and the assertion "There's no such thing as a fish." That refers to the similar evolution of many branches of life that ended up "looking like a fish" but are otherwise unrelated.

They had a common ancestor of a coral-like sea squirt (If I remember right). That looked nothing like a fish.
