Description
The Clownfish, also known as Anemonefish (or Nemo), are hermaphrodites. They are all born male, and the larger ones turn into females, usually during sex. They usually hang around Sea Anemone, because they have a special partnership with them. Clownfish have a mucus coat that protects them from the poisonous sting of the Anemone. However their predators are still susceptible to the sting. So in a way the Anemone protects the Clownfish. In return, the Clownfish clean the Anemone by eating the algae off of it. They may also help lure prey to it.
