What type of relationship exists between the clownfish and the sea anemone?
Wiki User
∙ 9y ago
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 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.
