of clownfish? 1. Hermaphrodite: Clownfish is a hermaphrodite fish. Although hermaphrodite is common, they can change sex in the process of growth and development. They will change from sexless to male, and then from male to female. But when they become female, they don't change sex again.
2. Symbiosis with sea anemones: Clownfish have a special layer of mucus on their body surface, which ensures that they are not affected by sea anemones. Because of the protection of the anemone, the clown fish can avoid attacks from other larger fish, and the food left by the anemone will also be provided to the clown fish. Clownfish, on the other hand, remove dead tissue and parasites from the anemone and attract other fish close to the anemone, increasing the chances of success.
