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 ...

In return, the clownfish defends the anemone from its predators and parasites. [3] Clownfish are small-sized, 10–18 cm (3.9–7.1 in), and depending on species, they are overall yellow, orange, or a reddish or blackish color, and many show white bars or patches. Color variations occur between species, most commonly according to distribution ...

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. 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]
