“Keep your friends close and your anemones closer.” - Clownfish

An anemonemone. Amnemonemomne. That’s okay, dont hurt yourself. Just keep reading. Sea anemones are marine animals that belong to the phylum Cnidaria, which includes jellyfish and corals and can be found in oceans around the world, from shallow coastal waters to deep-sea habitats. Sea anemones are known for their colorful appearance and long, flowing tentacles that they use to capture prey, typically small fish and plankton. 

Nemo? Clownfish are immune to the stinging cells of sea anemones and use them for protection against predators. In return, clownfish help provide nutrients to the sea anemones through their waste.
