This anemone is the home to the most different species of clown fish: up to 14 species! Sometimes you can find small shrimps.
When the anemone is disturbed, the tentacles retract. They can also be shrunken if the anemone does not harbor any fish.
The anemone is called leather anemone because its column recalls the texture of the leather.
Mammals have a horizontal tail.
Fishes have a vertical fin.
Some sharks can stay motionless on the sand (white tips reef sharks, nurse sharks, etc.).
These sharks don't have to swim to bring oxygen to their gills like other sharks (grey, hammerheads tc.)
The whale shark is the largest fish in the world!
Some whales are larger, but they are mammals, not fish!
