Control the depth at which a fish swims.
A fish controls its depth by increasing or decreasing the amount of air in its swim bladder. When a fish has more air in the swim bladder, it is more bouyant and rises to the surface ,but when it lets out the air and the swim bladder fills with water, it becomes less bouyant so the fish sinks.
Yes they can actually, i think
Yes, clown fish is the only known species that can live among the anemone. These are poisonous for all other fishes but clown fish, as its body is covered by a thick mucus, that is able to protect from the deadly stingy anemone's tentacles.
The clown fish are coated in mucous which makes them immune to the anemones poison as well as secreting a chemical which neutralizes the anemones poison.
They don't really defend themselves. They hide in aneomes and swim away.
