Clownfish live in warm waters, such as the Red Sea and Pacific Oceans, in sheltered reefs or lagoons, living in anemone. Clownfish form a mutually beneficial symbiotic relationship with anemones. The anemone protects the clownfish from predators and provides food scraps, while the clownfish fertilizes the anemone with its feces and lures fish into the anemone, where they are killed by the anemones poison and eaten. Clownfish eat various small invertebrates and algae, as well as food scraps the anemone leaves behind. Clownfish are social fish, communicating through popping and clicking noises. They live in groups of male fish with one dominant female, a dominant male, and a group of smaller males. The dominant male ensures its position by taking the best food opportunities. If the female of the group dies, the dominant male fish will turn permanently female and the largest of the smaller males will become the next dominant male.
