Clownfish have a symbiotic relationship with anemone. The clownfish deliver nutrients to the anemone in the form of waste, and the anemone protects the clownfish from predators. Anemones, like other cnidarians, have stingers called nematocysts which are used for protection.
What kind of relationship does a sea anemone and a clownfish have?
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.
Definition of a mutualism and a example?
Mutualism is a symbiotic relationship in which both species benefit.In other words, two species help each other out. Note that neither species is harmed in the relationship.The usual example is: Sea anemones protect clownfish from predators, and the clownfish defend the anemones from butterflyfish.
Are young clownfish precocial or altricial?
Unfortunately, clownfish (eggs) are precocial and that gets them a quick death by being eaten by other fish soon after birth. The only thing that will keep them safe is the anemone that protects their parents and the symbiotic relationship they could have if they stay in its safety.

What is the symbiosis relationship between Anemone?
The sea anenome and the clown fish have a mutually beneficial symbiosis. The anenome provides protection for the clown fish and the clown fish helps feed the anenome by leaving nutrient-rich wastes.
How is a symbolic relationship different from predation?
In a symbiotic relationship both species gain from the relationship. One example: Clownfish keep a Giant Anemone's tentacles clean of parasites and the Anemone's poisonous tentacles (to which the Clownfish is immune)provide protection for the Clownfish from predators. A win-win situation. In predation one species eats another, as an African Lion preys on the zebra or gazelle for nourishment. However, in the big picture, the Lions, and other predators, keep prey numbers in balance with what the environment can sustain. So the two species, as a whole, depend on each other to keep the balance of nature. It could be said that ALL of nature exists as one big symbiotic relationship. Remove one component and it will all eventually collapse.
Where do they clown fish live?
Clownfish live at the bottom of the sea in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons, usually in pairs. Clownfish have a special relationship with the anemone and are very important to them. They are a large help to the anemone as they clean the anemone by eating the algae and other food leftovers on them. They also protect the sea anemones by chasing away polyp-eating fish, such as the butterfly fish. The map below shows where in the world clownfish can be found. They live in the warmer waters of the Pacific Ocean and Indian Ocean. They are also found in northwest Australia, southeast Asia, Japan and the Indo-Malaysian region. There are no clownfish in the Caribbean Your Welcome! :D
