An example of a mutualistic relationship is the symbiosis between clownfish and sea anemones. Clownfish live among the stinging tentacles of sea anemones, which provide them protection from predators. In return, clownfish help maintain the anemone by cleaning it of debris and providing nutrients through their waste. This relationship benefits both species—clownfish gain safety while anemones receive nourishment and increased health. Such mutualistic interactions are vital for maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem stability.
