The orange-clown anemonefish are prey for a number of fish such as sharks, stingrays, and other larger bony fishes as well as moray eels. While the eggs are susceptible to predators as well. Humans also prove to be the biggest danger because they are captured and taken from the ocean to be sold or kept.

Sharks, sting rays, and other sorts of fish eat clown fish.

It is, however, quite difficult, because clown fish share a symbiotic relationship with the stinging sea anemones. Clown fish protect anemones from predators, and clean the anemones by eating their dead tentacles, and anemones let clown fish live inside them and be protected by the tentacles.

A clownfish will feed on the leftovers of a fish on the anemone in which it lives; the anemone catches the fish and the clownfish eat the leftovers. Clownfish are immune to the anemones' predatory ways because of a mucus that covers their bodies and protects them from the anemones' stingers.

Plant-based foods on which clownfish feed may include copepods, isopods and zooplankton. The clownfish may also eat molluscs, planktonic crustaceans and algae that inhabit the reef, or eat away at debris, nibbling off the dead tentacles of its host anemone. They are essentially omnivorous and will eat almostly anything edible.
