Pesci pagliaccio all'acquario di Città del Capo

Clownfish swim at the Two Oceans Aquarium in Cape Town, South Africa 01 August 2011. Clownfish are native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. Clownfish and sea anemones have a symbiotic relationship each providing a number of things to benefit the other. The sea anemone protects the clownfish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone’s meals. In return, the clownfish defends the anemone from its predators, and cleans it from parasites. (EPA/NIC BOTHMA)
