Question

Name and explain the type of interaction between clown fish and sea anemone.

Hint:

Other examples of Commensalism include an orchid growing as an epiphyte on a mango branch and barnacles growing on the back of a whale.

Answer 1

Step 1: Commensalism is an interaction where one species benefits and the other is neither harmed nor benefited.
Step 2: The clownfish lives among the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone. The stinging tentacles provide the fish protection from predators, which stay away from the anemone.
Step 3: The sea anemone does not appear to derive any benefit or suffer any harm from the presence of the clownfish.
