Red Sea, Egypt -- A pair of anemonefish ("clown fish") seek refuge in the stinging cells of an anemone's tentacles. The anemonefish is not naturally immune to the sting of an anemone, but over time coats itself in secretions of its "home" anemone so that the stinging cells do not fire when touched by this particular fish. © Rick Collier / RickCollier.com.
