Did you know about the fascinating mutualistic relationship between clownfish and sea anemones? Clownfish live among the venomous tentacles of sea anemones, protected from predators by the anemone’s stings which don’t affect them due to a mucus layer on the clownfish’s skin. In return, clownfish defend anemones from their predators and parasites, and their movement promotes water circulation, which benefits the anemones by increasing oxygen flow. This relationship is a prime example of symbiosis in the marine environment, showcasing the complex interactions that sustain ecosystems. @CosmicConsciousness | @derekzane1981
