	Aquaworld Aquarium - Clownfish and their Host Anemones in the Aquarium
		Clownfish are a member of the damselfish family that evolved a unique symbiotic relationship with some species of sea anemones.
		Most clownfish are very selective about which anemone they will accept as a host in the sea, but in the aquarium, in absents of a preferred host they will often accept a host anemone they are not normally associated.
		Clownfish will often spawn in captivity as long as the water quality is good and a pair has been kept together for several months.

	Clownfish - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Clownfish live in a mutual relationship with sea anemones, or in some case settle in some varieties of soft corals, or large polyp stony corals.
		However, clownfish in an aquarium environment can exist very well without an anemone (this may be advisable as most anemones are extremely difficult to keep alive even for experienced aquarists).
		Some environmental protection activists regard this as a catastrophe as clownfish are already facing the threat of extinction due to a reduction of their natural habitat (coral reefs) which in turn is due to global climate changes as well as pollution of the seas.

		The reason Clownfish are not found at deeper depths is because of the dependance of the Anemone to be in water shallow enough to feed the zooxanthellae within its tentacles.
		This may be accomplished in one of two ways: by the Clownfish absorbing the Anemones own protective mucus, which the Anemone uses to prevent from stinging its own body, or it may be that the Clownfish produces its own reactive mucus to the sting of the Anemone.
		Likewise, Clownfish are known for their territorial and protective nature of guarding the Anemones from any approaching predators.
