Clownfish are playful fish that make their homes among the sea anemones, which are like squishy, underwater gardens. These small fish eat algae and tiny organisms that live in the sea. Clownfish are known for their special friendship with sea anemones - the anemones provide a safe home for the clownfish, and in return, the clownfish help keep the anemones clean. These fish are also famous for their cool behavior called "clowning around" because they like to swim and play near their homes.

Fascinating fact: All clownfish are born males, and some can change into females later in life!

Starfish are also good at regrowing their arms if they happen to lose one. They love to move around and explore, using their tube feet to crawl along the ocean floor.

Fascinating fact: Some starfish can have over 20 arms!

Seahorses are gentle creatures that like to make their homes in seagrass beds, coral reefs, or mangrove areas. These tiny fish have a special diet of tiny shrimp and plankton, and they use their long snouts to slurp up their food. Seahorses are unique because the males are the ones who carry and hatch the baby seahorses! They hold the eggs in a pouch on their bellies until the babies are ready to come out. Seahorses are not strong swimmers, so they often use their curly tails to hold onto underwater plants to avoid drifting away.

Fascinating fact: Seahorses don't have scales like other fish - instead, their bodies are covered in bony plates that make them look like tiny, underwater knights!
9. reitmh acrb

Hermit crabs are a small type of crab that likes to find and live in empty seashells, which they use as protective homes.

These crabs are also known for being social and often gather in groups, sharing tips on where to find the best shells.

Fascinating fact: Hermit crabs can communicate with each other by tapping on their friends' shells!
10. namat yar

The scrambled clue "namat yar" = manta ray.

Manta rays are incredible sea creatures that prefer warm waters and can be found near coral reefs and in open seas.
