In contrast, a high number of empty anemones were
counted in LE reefs. These unoccupied anemones could either
indicate that all resident clown anemonefish were collected or that
larvae had not settled in this host. Due to their symbiotic relationship,
the removal of all fish from one anemone might impact
the reproduction, growth rate, and the survival of the sea anemone.
It was shown that anemones hosting Amphiprion grow nearly three
times faster than anemones without and that the asexual reproduction
of anemones was also enhanced by their presence
