The clownfish has become popular with children because of its starring role in the animated film "Nemo." But everyone seems to be charmed by this fish's real-life story. This orange and white striped little fish lives in an unusual partnership with the sea anemones. Though the tentacles of an "anemone" can sting and kill other fish, the clownfish isn't affected. (It's thought to be protected from the stinging cells by a coat of mucus.) The clownfish helps keep the anemone clean by feeding on food scraps and waste. The anemone, in turn, provides the clownfish protection from predators.
