Clownfish live in symbiosis with the Sea Anemone. The Clownfish leaves waste for the Anemone to feed on while the Anemone shelters it from predators. The most predominant adaptation a Clownfish has is its ability in immunity to Anemone stings, thusly, the mutualism.

∙ 9y agoThe clownfish is best known for its ability to come in contact with the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone, and not be harmed. Not only are the clownfish not harmed by the anemone, they live among the sea anemone and use its tentacles as protection from enemies. The clownfish also feed the anemone by leaving waste that is left behind in its tentacles, or actually gathering the food. This is a perfect example of symbiosis, which is defined as being different species of the animal kingdom living off of each other.
A clown fish have a special chemical on its skin. If it goes inside a sea anemone when it escapes danger, the anemone won't sting the clown fish.

∙ 15y agoThe Clown Fish can hide, when being chased by predators, in its anemone. Usually, the anemone will sting or shock anything that touches it, but due to the Clown Fish having a thin protective "seal" covering its body, the anemone does not harm the fish so the fish can be protected.

∙ 11y agoClown fish spend a lot of time in or around an organism called an anemone. Anemones have stinging cells called nematocysts that sting the clown fish's predators but do not sting the clown fish. This means it can hide in the anemone and benefit from its protection.
