SPECIES INTERACTIONS-FT2-SCRN_DEOCAMPO
Sea Anemones form a symbiotic relationship with Algae. The sea anemone benefits from the products of the algae's photosynthesis such as oxygen and food. The algae in turn are assured a reliable exposure to sunlight and protection from micro-feeders, which the sea anemones actively maintain. The algae also benefit by being protected by the sea anemone's stinging cells, nematocysts, reducing the likelihood of being eaten by herbivores.
