play another video here for Ron and you guys please do some play-by-play on this Ron this is not you have told us before that the sea is not an area of expertise for you but regardless do some play-by-play here that you if you can okay I give it my best shot ah it's a type of anemone
It's so it's kind of dancing through the ocean.
They're looking for another host to launch itself to latch itself onto because these anemones need to find a coral, some type of foundation to latch itself onto.
And that's what it's doing right now.
That's its way of swimming to find another location that it will eventually latch onto and then grow onto that coral and be homes for things like clownfish and other animals that use anemones as kind of a base.
for their home because anemones are toxic.
They have a toxin in them and some fish like the clownfish are immune to those toxins.
So the clownfish go in there and they're protected by the anemone so they're not eaten by other fish that are not immune to those toxins and are afraid of the anemone.
Can you explain to people what an anemone is?
An anemone is a type of invertebrate that lives in the ocean that I don't know how to explain it.
It's a living thing that's in the ocean that
feeds on fish, feeds on different types of animals in the ocean that swim by, will go into the anemone, and then there's toxins in those little tentacles that kill the fish and consume the fish.
But the anemone doesn't swim.
It has to lure them in there.
So it does so with those tentacles.
Fish are curious.
They look to feed in there, and the tentacles grab it.
Now, animals like the clownfish have an immunity to those toxins and hence use the anemone as a safe space where it can hide in there and not be affected by the...
the toxins and not be eaten by other fish that would be affected by the toxins quick break to tell you about a special miller time i had with my good buddy mochetta mochetta texted me the other day he said hey what are you doing for the game i said i'm just on my couch right now doing nothing enjoying it he's like hey do you want some company i said from you mochetta absolutely
