Clown fish like to live with sea anemones.
Indeed, sea anemones can protect them very well. Sea anemones can provide hiding places for clownfish, helping them avoid attacks from other fish.
The venom of sea anemones is deadly to other organisms, but it is not harmful to clownfish because clownfish are immune to sea anemone venom. Fish Clowns can shuttle sea anemones, play and have fun. When there is no danger, they “dance” among the anemones.
Clown fish lay their eggs in the tentacles of sea anemones. After hatching, the young fish live in the water layer for a while before starting to choose a group of anemones of sea adapted to their growth. they can live together. It should be noted that clownfish cannot live in alls types of sea anemones, but can only live in specific objects. Clownfish can still survive in an environment without sea anemones, but they lack protection.
