Which statement below is the best explanation for this observation? The spicules of the sea anemone cannot penetrate a slime layer surrounding a clown fish but other fish do that have that neutralizing slime layer. Clown fish are good at maneuvering between the spines of the sea anemone and use them for camouflage. Clown fish are attracted to the cnidocytes of the sea anemone as their source of food. Clown fish are immune to the sting of the nematocyst of the sea anemone but other fish are not.arrow_forward
