In the Indian Ocean live in giant anemones symbiosis and fish anémonos. But how do you know the hole in which each fish lives? If you stumble and go to a wrong anemone, how can you stop? Japanese researchers have just found an answer. Each species of anemones synthesizes special and own chemical compounds, and their friends follow their call. Another thing is how fish identify different substances.
