Sea Anemone Stoichactis and Clownfish Amphiprion The relationship between these the sea anemone and the clownfish has been a much studied topic. As far as is known, the fish is able to produce a special mucus that causes the anemone not to release its stings. It is also believed that the movements of the fish inform the anemone of its identity. In return for the anemone's protection, the fish brings scraps to it, and lures larger fish into the anemone's tentacles.
