Tree Anemones - Actinodendridae

Feathered Anemone

There is a unique closeness between Clownfish and their host anemone.  The anemone provides a safe haven for the Clownfish and in return the clownfish will defend its host by driving off potential predators of the anemone. Most Clownfish will not go into any anemone.  There is a certain preference for each species of Clownfish.  Some will call home to more than one specie of anemone, but do prefer certain species.
