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.
The relationship between the clownfish and the sea anemone is mutualistic.
The anemone will protect a clownfish, the only fish that the anemone will not sting.
Clownfish live in a symbiotic relationship with a Sea Anemone. They eat undigested bits and pieces that could possibly harm the sea anemone. Then the anemone eats the harmless faeces of the Clownfish.
What are all the ways that a anemone protect the clownfish
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.
By cleaning it and sometimes also by attracting passively other fishes.
It is mutualism because the anemone wards off the clown fish's predators due to their poisonous tentacles, but at the same time the clown fish wards off anemone-eating fish, also ensuring the anemone's survival.

No idea ! But i have the definition . The definition of Symbiosis is A close , Long -Term association between two or more species . :)
There are no disadvantages, but the only thing is that the sea anemone might make the clown fish get stuck in its grass-like things
Clownfish have a mutualistic symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. The clownfish benefit by gaining protection from predators among the anemone's stinging tentacles, which they are immune to due to a mucous coating on their skin. In return, the clownfish provide the anemone with nutrients through their waste and help increase water circulation around the anemone. This partnership enhances the survival and health of both species.
