Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging [PDF]
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.
