anemonefish, Amphiprion ocellaris and its host anemone, Heteractis magnifica
Anemonefish, when threatened by an approaching predator, dive into the tentacles of the
anemone. Unlike other fish, anemonefish are protected from the sting of the nematocysts
(stinging cells) of the host anemone by their protective mucus (slime) layer. This protective mucus
is a feature common to all fish, but the anemonefish's mucus has special chemical properties that
assist in protecting it from its host anemone's sting. [eng]

True Percula Clownfish, Amphiprion percula
This fish is very similar to the false percula, A. ocellaris. The difference is in the number of dorsal spines (11 for A. ocellaris, and 10
or 9 for A. percula), the anterior part of the dorsal fins is taller in A. ocellaris, and A. ocellaris never have a thick black margin around
the three white bars. They do not occur together in nature. The black bar is sometimes expanded as in the lower fish in the picture
above. [eng]
