How can clown fish avoid getting stung by anemones?

They don't. They have built up a tolerance to them. Some types can still harm the clowns enough to do damage however . Actually- They are the only fish that do not get stung by the tentacles of the sea anemone. Clownfish have a slimy mucus covering that protects them from the sea anemone. However, if this covering is wiped off of a clownfish, it will get stung and possibly be killed when it returns home to the anemone. The clownfish and the sea anemone help each other survive in the ocean. The clownfish, while being provided with food, cleans away fish and algae leftovers from the anemone. In addition, the sea anemones are given better water circulation because the clownfish fan their fins while swimming about.

Why do clown fish live in anemones?

Not usually. Clown fish are immune to anemones and actually live in them and use them for protection. They also eat scraps of food that the anemone missed. If the layer of mucus that coats these fish is damaged or compromised, however, they can actually be stung and even killed/eaten. This can also happen when the fish come in first contact with an anemone. If clownfish are removed from an anemone they were previously accustomed to for extended periods, they can lose that immunity and be stung and potentially eaten. hi
