The maroon clownfish has been successfully crossbred with A. ocellaris to create the hybrid named the "blood orange clownfish" by the Florida aquaculture company, Oceans, Reefs and Aquariums. [22] The body of this hybrid more closely resembles A. ocellaris , but possesses a darker orange hue, grows larger, and has a more fiery temperament ...
Intruding anemones are not normally killed but usually retire to a safer place. [2] Actinia bermudensis is an omnivore. The main items of prey are gastropods, isopods and small bivalves. Other food items may include other marine invertebrates and algae. [3] Many sea anemones form a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae.
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. [3] 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 clown fish eats the dead tentacles and keeps the anemone healthy. The anemone receives the benefit of being able to eat the feces of the clown fish as well. In return, the clown fish has a ...

The fish lives within the sea anemone's tentacles and can use it as a shelter because it has developed a thin layer of mucus which covers its body as a protection against the anemone's stinging tentacles, and the presence of the clownfish can be interpreted as a lure to attract potential anemone prey close to its tentacles; the clownfish can ...
