Clownfish - Predator VS Prey






Clown fish live in deep seas and move trough (and are 'friends' of) sea anemones. Their predators are sharks, chalk goby. To feed themselves, they eat small marine fish; most of the time the fish are invertebrates. Like I said before, it has relationship with the sea anemones.

Sea anemones have these poisonous tentacles and big predators don't dare to go near them, but somehow clown fish aren't afraid and the tentacles have no affect on them. Also clown fish's feces have a fertilizer effect on the sea anemone; so this is how both of them benefit each other!!!
