What do clownfish for anenome?

Clownfish don't "do" anything for anemones. They have a mutualistic relationship, meaning both species benefit from the partnership. Here's how it works:

* Clownfish get protection: Anemones have stinging tentacles that deter predators, and clownfish can safely hide amongst them.

* Anemones get food and cleaning: Clownfish are very active and stir up the water around the anemone, bringing it food particles and helping to keep it clean.

* Clownfish also help with reproduction: They may help anemones reproduce by fertilizing eggs or dispersing larvae.

So, in short, clownfish benefit anemones by providing food, cleaning, and potentially helping with reproduction. In return, the anemone provides a safe haven for the clownfish. It's a win-win situation!
