This is a picture of a clownfish in as sea anemone. This is an example of a symbiosis relationship that is mutualistic. Mutualism is where both the clownfish and sea anemone benefit and are able to flourish through symbiosis. The clownfish, which is territorial, protects the sea anemone from other marine predators and in return the sea anemone provides the clownfish with a home. The clownfish is the only fish that does not get stung by the tentacles of the sea anemone. Another example of mutualism is the symbiotic relationship between a flower and a bee.
