    Nearly all fish except those with a mucous 'coat' like clownfish. A clownfish can not survive in the wild without an anemone to 'protect' him.

    All but the clown. A clown develops an extra thick special coat of slime to avoid the stings. And this is developed by stinging themselves on purpose to develop an immunity. However this evolved over many many many many years. And the anemone actually APPRECIATES the clowns presence as they keep the anemone clean and provide food in the form of fresh "fertilizer"

    All fish except Clownfish. Clownfish are immune to sea anemone sting.

    Clownfish and sea anemones have a complex and mutually beneficial relationship.
