The relationship
between the clownfish and the sea anemone is an example of mutualism. A mutual relationship is one of three symbiotic relationships
in which two organisms of different species work together to benefit both
parties. The example of the clownfish and seas anemone is one such
relationship. The clownfish is the only fish able to survive the sting of the
poisonous sea anemone’s tentacles. The sea anemone allows the fish to make its
home in it, and in return, the clownfish will clean, provide nutrients through
waste, and scare away predatory fish for the anemone.
