Question

Clownfish, a small tropical fish found in the midst of sea anemones, are often not stung. What type of relationship might the clownfish have with the sea anemones that would explain this behavior?

niche
mutualism
parasitism

Answer 1

The correct answer is mutualism. This is true because they both help each other. The clownfish protects the anemones from predators, while the anemone gives the clownfish protection from its predators. So this would be a mutual relationship.
