What kind of relationship does a sea anemone and a clownfish have?

Answer 1

The relationship of the clown fish and sea anemone is symbiotic in that the clownfish, having a coating of mucous that makes it immune to the anemone's deadly sting, can swim in safety in the anemone's tentacles, meanwhile attracting other fish as food for the anemone.

Answer 2

The mutualistic symbiotic relationship between sea anemone and clownfish is something wonderful. Only some species of anemone live together with clown fish. The anemones protect the clown fish from predators. Other fishes which would get paralyzed by the anemone sting would not come near them so the clownfish would be safe, further the clown fish feeds on left over from the anemones and also dead tentacles of anemones. Clown fish too defend the enemies of anemones and the fecal matter of them is a food for the anemones.
