Secrets of the Clownfish Part 1

Hi, this is Uinchu.

How are you doing??

This time I would like to introduce the Clown anemonefish.

This is a fish that became famous in a Disney movie.

Anemone fish that can be seen in Japan.

These are the six species of clownfish that can be seen in Japan.

Sea anemones and clownfish have a "symbiotic relationship".

The tentacles of sea anemones have countless cells called cnidocysts that fire poisonous needles when they come in contact with foreign objects.

This venom is used to paralyze and prey on fish and other animals.

However, the anemonefish has a special mucus on its body surface that does not react to the stinging cells of the anemone.

The clownfish is protected by the sea anemone.

The sea anemone is protected by the clownfish, and the clownfish is protected by the sea anemone.

They help each other to survive.

What a surprise! Clownfish changes sex.

The clownfish modeled in Uminchu's NFT is a female.

The largest and strongest one is the female.

All Japanese clownfish change sex.

When they are born, they are neither male nor female.

The largest and strongest one is the female. The second largest is the male.

Otherwise, there is no gender.

If the largest female disappears for some reason, the second largest male will change sex to female.

The third largest individual with no gender will become the male.

Interesting how they all change gender in turn!

Let's talk about the life of a clownfish another time, shall we?

Profits from Uminchu's NFT will be donated to organizations that protect Okinawa's oceans.
