Description
- 16" Tropical fish (Anemone/Clown)
- Hand Puppet
- Ideal for Ages 6+
This 16" animal puppet has a movable mouth and a slot under the head for easy access. We recommend ages 3+ for ease of use. In the wild, they all form symbiotic mutualisms with sea anemones. The sea anemone protects the clownfish from predators, as well as providing food through the scraps left from the anemone's meals and occasional dead anemone tentacles. In return, the clownfish defends the anemone from its predators, and parasites. Depending on species, Clownfish are overall yellow, orange, or a reddish or blackish color, and many show white bars or patches. The largest can reach a length of 7.1 inches, while the smallest barely can reach 3.9 inches. Clownfish are native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. While most species have restricted distributions, others are distributed elsewhere. Clownfish live at the bottom of shallow seas in shallow reefs or lagoons. There are no clownfish in the Atlantic.
