I think their way of paying the rent is feeding their home.

i thought that the clowns symbiotic relationship with anenmoes and corals was for unknown reasons? that they don't understand what the corals and anem's + is from being hosted?

i wish i could show you a picture of this its very awsome and one of the only reasons i bought the pair and torch!

Well what makes it symbiotic is this...zooxanthellae have that relationship inside corals and anemones that they produce simple food for the coral with the photosynthesis they do and in return the polyps or tentacles of the organism they inhabit protect them. Then the next step is that the anemone provides shelter for the clown and in return, the clown feeds its "home" with left over food that it eats. There's a reason that only clowns have that coat on them that makes them resistant to the sting...it's all about evolution.

Oh and by the way, take a picture and share by all means.
