Magnifique anémone (Heteractis magnifica) avec shoal trois Spot Dascyllus demoiselle (Dascyllus trimaculatus) sur la barrière de corail - Vidéos

Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. Here we see a shallow coral reef consisting of several Magnificent Anemone (Heteractis magnifica) containing a shoal of Three Spot Dascyllus (Dascyllus trimaculatus). A perfect demonstration of a symbiotic relationship. The coral and fish have a symbiotic relationship. The fish cleans parasite off the Anemone and in return uses its stinging polyps as protection from predators. This is a typical display of animal behaviour that helps ensure the safety and survival of both species.
