Popularity clown fish can not be separated from the behavior of different types of symbiosis with anemones. Anemones, which are toxic to other fish, clown fish with a safe haven and comfortable. Clown fish are often found hiding, covered, and chatting amongst anemone tentacles tentalel poisonous. In
nature, the presence of a clown fish in the anemone can protect them
from aggressive fish such as some kind of angle or butterfly fish that
will eat the tentacles.
Instead utilize clown anemone fish as a refuge from natural enemies.Without the protection of the anemone, clown fish can survive only a few minutes before it wiped out by the enemy. Living together between two very different types of creatures that are often used as an example of harmonious coexistence. Clownfish
often perform clean-up duties at the anemone's body is by picking
crumbs, or other debris so that the body can get rid anemones of various
types of parasites. While fish clown myself often brought food to the anemone.
As with other sea dwellers, clown fish actually do not have the ability to fight off toxins from sea anemones. Nevertheless they have the tactical sniper how to cope with these toxins. Anemone
tentacles lined with mucus that has specific content to protect it from
the other tentacles sting or stinging tentacles themselves. Mucus is utilized by the body to protect the clown fish from tentekal anemone sting.As such, they will eventually play safe and be among the tentacles of anemones.

In one colony of clownfish that live in sea anemones, usually consisting of one adult female and several males are dominant are smaller, and some young clown fish. These young fish are all male sex.
If the female dies or disappears, the biology of adult male will change sex to female. Genital changes will last for two weeks or more. Then the largest and oldest male was colonized would be his partner. Strategy known as the continued existence of the species is able to maintain such a clown fish. In this case the male the widowed females do not need to search other females away. As is known, in nature, clown fish can not leave anemonnya more than a few feet just to look for other females.
