Anemonefish, also known as clownfish, are known for their bright colours and bands. They live in shallow coral reefs in the Indian Ocean, western Pacific Ocean and the Red Sea in social units consisting of 2 to 7 individuals. Anemonefish are named after the live-in partnership they share with sea anemones. Read this story to learn more about this relationship, including how anemonefish are able to escape the lethal effects of its host's tentacles.
