What are Anemonefish?

Anemonefish (Clownfish) are a group of fish that have a symbiotic relationship with Anemone structures. The fish live amongst the Anemone’s stinging tentacles, which provides protection from predators. The fish has a mucus which protects it from the sting. In return the Anemonefish feeds on algae on the Anemone, and provides food scraps.
