Madagascar anemonefish (Amphiprion latifasciatus), Nosy Sakatia, Madagascar. It's is found only in Madagascar and the Comoro Islands in the western Indian Ocean and they reach a maximum length of 13 centimetres (5.1 in). Clownfish and sea anemone form together one of the most known symbiotic mutualism. The sea anemone protects the clownfish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and occasional dead anemone tentacles. In return, the clownfish defends the anemone from its predators, and parasites and are unaffected by the stinging tentacles of the host anemone. In a group of clownfish, there is a strict dominance hierarchy. The largest and most aggressive fish is female and is found at the top. Clownfish are sequential hermaphrodites, meaning that they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females.
