    This video shows a pair of our clownfish eating small frozen shrimp. Feeding interactions are often the easiest to see: they are dramatic and make for good video.\u00a0 However, there are many other interactions that can occur that are more subtle.\u00a0 For example, the clownfish have a relationship with that large cleaner shrimp in the background.\u00a0 More on that relationship later on in this guide.<\/h5> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
