Clownfish with anemone. They also engage in symbiotic relationship with cleaner gobies of genus Elacatinus, allowing the gobies to feed on ectoparasites on their bodies. [10] Clownfish also have mutualistic relationships with anemones. [11] The anemone protects the clownfish while the clownfish rids parasites.
The sea anemone protects the clownfish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and occasional dead anemone tentacles. In return, the clownfish defends the anemone from its predators, and parasites. [4] Clownfish are small-sized, 10–18 centimetres (3.9–7.1 in), and depending on species, they ...
Clownfish or anemonefish are fishes from the subfamily Amphiprioninae in the family Pomacentridae. Thirty species of clownfish are recognized: one in the genus Premnas, while the remaining are in the genus Amphiprion. In the wild, they all form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones. Depending on the species, anemonefish are overall yellow ...
The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [8] A. melanopus is a generalist, being usually hosted by 1 anemone, but also hosted by 2 other anemones. It is hosted by the following 3 out of the 10 host anemones: [2] [9] [8]

The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [12] A. polymnus is a specialist, being hosted by 2 out of the 10 host anemones: [4] [11] [12] Heteractis crispa Sebae anemone (rarely) Stichodactyla haddoni (Saddle carpet anemone)
The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [8] A. sandaracinos is a specialist, being hosted primarily by one out of the ten host anemones: [3] [7] [8] Heteractis crispa Sebae anemone (rarely) Stichodactyla mertensii Mertens' carpet sea anemone (usually)
