The symbiotic relationship between an Magnificent Sea Anemone (Heteractis magnifica) and a clownfish (Amphiron ocellaris) is a classic example of two organisms benefiting the other; the anemone provides the clownfish with protection and shelter, while the clownfish provides the anemone nutrients in the form of waste, its bright colours lure fish into the anemone, where they are killed by the anemone’s poison 💙 #lovethereef 🎥 Pablo Cogollos | Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority

Anemone Fish Top Sustainable Christmas Tips

Did you know that in a group of clownfish – also known as anemone fish (Amphiprioninae) – there's a strict dominance hierarchy? The largest and most aggressive female is found at the top. Anemone fish are protandrous sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they are all born males and become females when they mature. If the female anemone fish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males becomes a female. The remaining males move up a rank in the hierarchy! D
