Anemones are like plants, but they are actually carnivores. They have itchy and paralyzing toxins on their antennae, so they can catch all animals that come into contact with them and swallow them with their mouths. They can even swallow bigger fish. Their enzymes can digest big fish through the pharynx at the waist. All creatures passing by know to avoid anemones as long as they are not dying or absent-minded. Only clown fish will take care of and protect anemones enthusiastically.
Clownfish can not only help anemones drive away butterfly fish and turtles (they are immune to anemones' toxins and can cut off the ends of anemones' tentacles), but also help anemones remove parasites, accumulated waste and dead skin, and even serve as bait to attract potential prey. Anemones are cared for in this way, and the top of tentacles will naturally release toxic substances to protect clown fish. Clownfish are protected by toxic anemones through various services. This relationship between two different species is called biological relationship.

In this unusual relationship with nature, one creature will benefit from another. What is even more unusual (the reason for this abnormality is little known) is that in this relationship, the two species will provide services to each other, and the relationship between anemones and clownfish is very typical.
If clownfish are stabbed by anemones, this relationship will cease to exist. But we still don't know how clownfish can avoid being stabbed under this mechanism. It seems that the clown fish's body will secrete a sticky substance, which will disable the cells of anemones that release paralyzing substances when they are slightly rubbed.

But if you want to be immune to this toxin, you have to touch it slowly, that is, dance the dance of friction, getting closer and closer until you completely enter the tentacles after a few hours. Clownfish usually live in quiet shallow caves or waters around tropical Pacific coral reefs, and live with anemones. They rarely leave their original environment, only a few centimeters at most. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up by natural enemies lurking behind the coral. This * * * relationship is so close that the newborn fish will die in a few days if they don't find the * * * anemone quickly.
Because clownfish are biologically related to anemones, they are immune to anemone toxins, and because a sticky substance secreted by clownfish will paralyze the cells of anemone paralysis substances.
