This is for clownfish. Coral reef is its habitat. The reef has been destroyed by tsunami 2004. Now it is slowly recovering.

The partnership between clownfish and sea anemones is one of the most powerful symbiotic relationship in the world.The anemones tentacles provide the clownfish with protection from predators.Tentacales are armed with numerous nematocysts;sting cells which contain toxins.Not only the protection anemones also providing food for the clownfish.
The clownfish chase away other fishes which would eat the anemones
and also anemones get nutrition from the waste prducts of clownfish.
Clownfish also known as anemonefish.
I'm really interesting this relationship.

Is this for the Clown fish or the coral? If it is the coral you have the wrong category.
