Anemone board and lodging

A pair of cute and shy Allard's anemonefish swimming and hiding in their sea anemone home. This is an example of mutualism or symbiotic relationship in nature, where the anemonefish get shelter and food from the sea anemone, while the sea anemone is kept free from predators and parasites by the anemonefish
