【海洋本色】電光紅_粗面狐蛤(火焰貝)
中間肉體部分有兩條發光體,像是霓虹燈的閃光。
火焰貝可以倒懸在石頭上,它靠分泌足絲可以將貝殼固定,外套膜邊緣如觸手狀的延伸物猶如搖曳的火苗,
在外套膜邊緣經常可以看到像電流一樣的藍光在來回流動。由於貝體中央嘴部會發出兩道螢光,狀似閃電,也被稱做閃電貝,
會發出螢光吸引浮游生物,再以觸鬚捕捉進食,戲稱是貝類中的螢火蟲。

As known as the famous main actor ‘Nemo’ in movie ‘Finding Nemo.’
The coloration of its body is orange to reddish-brown, has three vertical white stripes outlined with a fine black line.
Clownfish have a mucus covering which prevents them from being harmed, and allows clownfish to live in sea anemone.
The sea anemone protects the anemonefish from predators,
as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and occasional dead anemone tentacles and functions as a safe nest site.
In return, the anemonefish defends the anemone from its predators and parasites.
They form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones.
A school of clownfish is always built into a hierarchy with a female fish at the top.
Usually the largest individual is female, the second largest is male,
and the rest of them would be neutral gender adults and sexually unmatured fry. When ‘she’ dies,‘he’ will change its sex into female.
As for male? One of the neutral members will change its sex into male.
