False clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris) swimming amongst the tentacles of its host anemone (Heteractis magnifica) Anemonefish have a symbiotic relationship with their host anemones. They are protected from predators by the stinging tentacles of the anemones (to which they are immune), and the fish clean the anemones by feeding on small parasitic plants and animals. Photographed in Lembeh Strait, North Sulawesi, Indonesia.
