Clownfish

Clownfish or amphiprion (Amphiprion sp.) is a genus of marine fish in the family Pomacentridae.
Like most marine fish, clownfish have a bright, memorable appearance. They are fish with a deep orange or red colour and distinctive white stripes on their bodies.
The basic colour of the Clownfish varies from bright orange to red and yellow.
However, clownfish use actinid tentacles as a natural refuge and the why doesn't actinia venom work on these fish?
And the answer is quite simple. In the process of evolution, amphiprions have adapted to secrete a special protective mucus that makes the fish are insensitive to actinid venom.
