[Animalia](Animalia.md), especialy fishes, stay in it to hide from their predatorians. They can shelter : - Clownfish (thus the nickname anemonefish) - Crab (inachus phalangium) - Gobies (common, speckled) During a dive, we can push the water to create a bit of current that will bend the tentacles and better see what's in the anemone. ## References - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stichodactylidae - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_anemone
