[Ebook] Encyclopedia of Aquarium & Pond Fish – Directory of Marine Fish – Clownfish
Clownfish are also known as anemonefish because of their close relationship with this group of marine invertebrates. This association may have developed because the anemones’ stinging cells kill the Oodinium skin parasites to which these fish are susceptible. Clownfish are one of the easiest marine species to breed in the home aquarium.
