In a symbiotic relationship between a clownfish and sea anemone, the clownfish feeds on small invertebrates that could otherwise harm the sea anemone and its waste provides nutrients to the anemone. The anemone protects the clownfish from predators with its stinging cells, which do not affect the clownfish. This relationship benefits both organisms as they live together and depend on each other for food and protection.
