Anemone + Clownfish = Trust and Protection

Love is in the air, but what about underwater? Deep within our oceans you'd be hard-pressed to find a relationship with more mutual trust and protection than the sea anemone and clownfish. The bright fish coat themselves in a protective mucus that allows them to live undisturbed within the stinging tentacles. In exchange, the clownfish help clean and fertilize their hosts while chasing away other fish hungry for a bite of the anemone. Two partners, one force of nature.
