∙ 11y agoClownfish (small marine fish in the genus Amphiprion) live in a symbiotic relationship with a host anemone. The clownfish is immune to the anemone's sting, the details of how it can survive contact with the stinging tentacles are not fully understood but it is thought that the mucus which covers the fish's skin plays a part. The anemone offers the clownfish protection from predators, who are killed by the anemone, and the clownfish feeds off undigested remains of the anemone's meal.
In return the clownfish is thought to clean the anemone of algal growth, eat its dead tentacles and it is hypothesised that the colourful, active fish might attract prey to the anemone. It is also thought that the clownfish activity creates water currents over the anemone which are beneficial for it.

Symbiosis is demonstrated by the clown fish being protected by the anemone's stinging tentacles from predatory fish. The anemone is protected by the teratorial clown fish from anemone-eating fish. The clown fish has a mucus on its body that keeps the anemone from stinging it and becoming a food source. They protect each other in a near perfect symbiotic relationship.

How is a clown fish commensalism?
The Clown or Anemone fish lives in a "Symbiotic" relationship with its host Anemone in that they both depend on the other for food and/or protection.

In this relationship they both benefit from each other so this relationship is properly termed or defined as Symbiosis.

What kind of symbiotic relationship do the giant anemone and an anemone crab have?
When a sea snail dies, its shell eventually washes up on shore, where the hermit crab uses it as its new home. Therefore this would be commensalism, however since the snail already died there is no living symbiosis.
