Question 10 • FL-2000315-Biology 1 B-CR

Clownfish are well adapted to living in coral reefs. Which feature of clownfish shows this?

Answer
A
its immunity to the poisonous anemones that live on coral
B
its bright colors, like many of the coral reef fish species
C
the ability to survive in great depths
D
the ability to survive in the cold

Explanation

Clownfish live among sea anemones on coral reefs. A special mucus coating protects them from the anemones’ stinging cells, allowing them to use the anemones for shelter. This makes immunity to poisonous anemones the feature that shows their adaptation to coral reefs; surviving great depths or cold is not relevant to this habitat.
