Sea anemones are predatory invertebrates with stinging tentacles that can paralyze many sea animals. The clownfish is immune to the sting of the sea anemone and actually lives among its tentacles. The relationship is mutually beneficial-the clownfish often lures meat-eating animals over to the anemone, and the anemone benefits from the meal. The clownfish often gets to eat leftovers from the anemone's meal. When the clown fish is ready to lay eggs, it lays them near a sea anemone. How's this a reproductive strategy?
