The relationship between anemonefish and their host sea anemones is not random and instead is highly nested in structure. [9] P. biaculeatus is highly specialised with only one species anemone host, Entacmaea quadricolor bubble-tip anemone, [5] predominantly with the solitary form. The fish chooses the host and one of the primary drivers for ...
Stichodactyla gigantea, commonly known as the giant carpet anemone, [2] is a species of sea anemone that lives in the Indo-Pacific area. It can be kept in an aquarium but is a very challenging species to keep alive and healthy for more than 3–5 years.

Studies on anemonefish have found that they alter the flow of water around sea anemone tentacles by certain behaviors and movements such as "wedging" and "switching". Aeration of the host anemone tentacles allows for benefits to the metabolism of both partners, mainly by increasing anemone body size and both anemonefish and anemone respiration. [9]
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 ...
