The Ocellaris Clownfish (Amphiprion ocellaris), also known as the false percula clownfish or common clownfish, is a species of reef fish found in coral reefs from the Eastern Indian Ocean to the coasts of Northern Australia to Southeast Asia and Japan. They are well known for their black, white, and orange coloring, which is designed to help them blend into the colorful coral backgrounds. They are also well known for have a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones. These animals possess several long stinging tentacles. If any unlucky fish swims by, they immediately get paralyzed and are pulled into the anemone's mouth in the center. Clownfish, and a few species of shrimp, however, are some of the few animals that are immune or don't get dangerously affected by the sting. Clownfish have pored scales, and are covered in a transparent mucus that makes them immune to the venom of the tentacles. However, they can still feel pain, so when they move into a new anemone, they'll often brush up against the tentacles to accommodate itself with its new shelter. The relationship between the clownfish and anemone is symbiotic, with both species receiving benefits. The clownfish will lure in food to the anemone and in return, will eat the scraps of the fish left in the tentacles, cleaning each tentacle from algae so it doesn't get infected. They also protect the anemone from any predators, and are highly territorial. They'll often fight off other clownfish looking to move in. They'll even attempt to scare off even larger, non-threatening creatures that swim too close, like sea turtles. The anemone also supplies the clownfish with a home, instead of having to swim around all night.
