Clownfish
Did you know that Clownfish live in the venomous tentacles of Sea Anemones?
They are one of the only ocean creatures that can do this as they are protected by a layer of slimy mucus on their skin! Clownfish like to live in Sea Anemones so that they are protected from predators and can nibble on leftover food the Sea Anemone catches.
In return, they help keep Sea Anemones and the area around them clean by eating up algae and other reef debris.
If you see a Clownfish couple in a Sea Anemone, the larger of the two will be the female, and the smaller the male.
They are called Clownfish because of their bright clown colouring and all clownfish are born as boys, once the females die the largest male will change sex.
Did you know?
Male Clownfish are very devoted parents. They look after the eggs, fanning them to keep them oxygenated. They will chase away fish much bigger than them and even square up to inquisitive scuba divers to protect their young!
They can be found in different colors!
Not all Clownfish species are orange in colour. Some are red, brown or even black!
Did you know?
All Clownfish are born boys! Some will eventually turn into girls when they are older. If you see two Clownfish on a Sea Anemone, the larger of the two will be the female, the smaller the male.

Pufferfish
These fish can famously suck water in to massively inflate the size of their body to scare off predators. It isn't very good for them as it squashes their internal organs so you should never try to…
