The clown fish is able to make its home in the poisonous sea anemone, but any other fish that comes along would be paralyzed and killed. The clown fish also seems to keep butterfly fish away from the anemone, as they eat its tentacles.
Which term describes the relationship between the sea anemone and the clown fish?
a. parasitism
b. mutualism
c. commensalism
d. competition

Respuesta :

C, because the clown fish is benefiting from the sea anemone while the anemone gains nothing or harmed 

i think the answer is b. mutualism

this is becuase the sea anemone provides a safe home for the clown fish while the clownfish keep the butterfly  fish away from the anemone, as they eat its tentacles. so both organisms are benifitting from this relationship therefore it is mutualism.

please mark as brainliest if i am correct :) thanks sm
