Benefits of pairing Clown Fish With Anemones in your Aquarium

Watching a clownfish seemingly playing in its anemone host is one of the most magical things that can happen in our aquariums. There’s just something about the symbiosis of it. In nature, a clownfish cannot survive without a host anemone. They would simply be picked off by a predator as they would have no place to hide. In the relative safety of our small glass boxes, however, clownfish will be perfectly happy without a host anemone. Although many people still want to experience that little piece of nature for themselves.

Clownfish can grow to be from 2 to 5 inches long. The males tend to be significantly smaller than the females. However, there are various types of clownfish that range in colors from blue to yellow. Clownfish are one of the only species that can survive the deadly sting of the Sea Anemone. By making the anemone their home, clownfish become immune to its sting. These fish will gently touch every part of their bodies to the anemone’s tentacles until it no longer affects them. A layer of mucus then forms on the clownfish’s body to prevent it from getting stung again.



The spawning season of the clownfish, a time when they breed, is year-round in tropical waters. Males attract the females by courting. Courting behaviors include chasing, biting and extending fins. Clownfish lay their eggs in batches on coral, rock or next to the sea anemone that they call home. The male clownfish will build a nest on the rock or coral near the anemone in order to be provided with protection from predators. Breeding starts by the male chasing the female to the nest where the eggs are released. One hundred to one thousand eggs are laid. The male clownfish guards and protects the eggs until they hatch. They hatch within 4 to 5 days.
