Clown Fish - Art By Red Dust

in #art9 years ago (edited)

Amphiprion ocellaris

The Clown Fish and the Sea Anemone have a symbiotic relationship. The fish has developed a mucus covering that renderes the sting of the Sea Anemone ineffective. The Sea Anemone provides protection for the Clown Fish. The Clown Fish brings bits of food to the Sea Anemone and removes parasites from the tentacles. Both species live on coral reefs off the coasts of Australia, Southeast Asia, and southern Japan.

Interesting bit of information. Clown Fish are all born hermaphrodites, basically they are all males. If one decides to turn into a female, it's stuck in that gender forever!
