Clownfish is an ornamental fish, they also have a nickname called "anemone fish", which means that they have a special relationship with sea anemones. Sea anemones are plants that have tentacles, and these tentacles are poisonous. However, clownfish are naturally immune to this toxin. When clownfish are attacked by other fish, they hide under the umbrella of sea anemones. Not only can you protect yourself from other fish, but you can also use yourself as bait for anemones to prey on other fish.
However, sea anemones also have natural enemies, and some species of fish specialize in feeding on sea anemones, such as plaice. In this case, the clownfish will protect the anemone, and they will fight with the plaice for the anemone. Sometimes, clownfish will also eat the food residue left by sea anemones, and eat some of the garbage and parasites on sea anemones. From the above introduction, we can see that they are mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship.
Clownfish and sea anemones are mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship, so when breeding clownfish can be placed at the same time some sea anemone. However, clownfish are also selective about anemones, and they have their own preferred species of anemones. For example, "pacifier anemone" is a clownfish preferred anemone species, and the price is also cheap; Another example is the "long beard carpet anemone", although clownfish also prefer, but the price is very expensive; In addition, there are "Princess Sea Anemone" and "Long Beard Purple Sea Anemone", which can be chosen.
