Spinecheek anemonefish (Premnas biaculeatus) emerging from a sea anemone. This species has a symbiotic relationship with sea anemone. The sea anemone provides the anemonefish with a safe haven by protecting it from predators through its stinging tentacles. The fish is immune to the sting and cleans the anemone by feeding on parasites such as algae and zooplankton. These fish can grow up to 17 centimetres. Photographed in Ambon, Indonesia. | |
