Black anemone fish (Amphiprion melanopus). This fish,also known as the fire clownfish,is found on the coral reefs of the tropical Pacific Ocean. It lives in the stinging tentacles of a sea anemone,to which it is immune. This affords it protection against predators,which are stung by the anemone. The fish picks parasites from its host anemone,thus forming a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with it. The black anemonefish can reach a length of around 12 centimetres.
