Divergence in metabolomic profile in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 IntroductionThe clownfish - sea anemone mutualism was suggested to have triggered the adaptive radiation of clownfishes, but the origin of clownfish resistance to stinging tentacles of host anemones remains unclear.

Regulation of the kiss2 promoter in yellowtail clownfish (Amphiprion clarkii) by cortisol via GRE-dependent GR pathway [PDF]
Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022 Kisspeptin plays a vital role in mediating the stress-induced reproductive regulation. Cortisol, known as a stress-related hormone, is involved in gonadal development and sexual differentiation by binding with glucocorticoid receptor (GR) to regulate the

N-acetylated sugars in clownfish and damselfish skin mucus as messengers involved in chemical recognition by anemone host [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThe clownfish - sea anemone system is a great example of symbiotic mutualism where host «toxicity» does not impact its symbiont partner, although the underlying protection mechanism remains unclear.
