Underwater Clown fish Skunk Anemonefish (Amphiprion ephippium) in Magnificent Anemone (Heteractis magnifica) coral bleaching - stock video
A Skunk Anemonefish Clown fish (Amphiprion ephippium) is in a Magnificent Sea Anemone (Heteractis magnifica). Coral reefs are the one of earths most complex ecosystems, containing over 800 species of corals and one million animal and plant species. The Anemone has stinging venom coated polyps, which the Anemone fish has the ability to cover its body with and use as protection from predators. In return, the Anemone fish constantly eats parasites from the Anemone, keeping it clean. A perfect demonstration of a symbiotic relationship in nature. The summer is hot and these corals are distressed due to the ocean temperature rising and causing loss of endosymbiotic algae from the coral. Here we see an example of the underwater effects on this coral reef ecosystem being damaged and bleached due to global warming. The location is Hin Daeng, Andaman Sea, Krabi, Thailand.
