Question

Sea anemones are predatory invertebrates with stinging tentacles that can paralyze many sea animals. The clownfish is immune to the sting of the sea anemone and actually lives among its tentacles. The relationship is mutually beneficial—the clownfish often lures meat-eating animals over to the anemone, and the anemone benefits from the meal. The clownfish often gets to eat leftovers from the anemone’s meal. When the clown fish is ready to lay eggs, it lays them near a sea anemone. How’s this a reproductive strategy?

Answer 1

because the anemone can defend the eggs. that is why she lays the egg near the anemone.

Answer 2

Ans.

Sea anemones and clownfish show a type of biological association, called as commensalism, in which both organisms get benefits from each other. Clown fish lays its eggs near a sea anemone as a reproductive strategy.

The clownfishs build nest on coral or rock near the sea anemone and lays their eggs here. It provides protection to their eggs from their predators as sea anemones are one of the most toxic species that makes all other predators to stay away from eggs of clownfish.
