Little Indo-Pacific fish genus Amphiprion (clown fish) live among the tentacles of large sea anemones, entering the latest in a symbiotic relationship. Anemones "recruit" young fish, highlighting attract their agents (attractants). The attractants are species-specific, ie only attract a certain type of organisms. Covering fish mucus does not contain substances that trigger Popping nematocysts so they can exist between the tentacles of sea anemones in the deadly habitat for other animals. Sea anemone fishes provides protection and food debris and fish are attracted to the "owner" prey (fish of other species), protect it from certain predators (butterfly fish), remove necrotic tissue and swimming among the tentacles, "aired" actin, preventing silt contamination.
