Could it perhaps be that clown fish are a little more intelligent than given credit for? Anytime intelligence emerges, it has the potential for removing you from the "stream of life" as it were.

> Matt: Cute answer, but baby clowns have to get slightly innoculated to grow the gelatin layer and be protected. Do you think the parents taught the kids? These symbiotic relationships are truly amazing, and how they develop is problematic. Look at the other entries I've made in this area. I'm fascinated. - On that specific instance, I think its explainable by babies staying close by their parents. As for how it originally appeared, I know I can't know, so I'll just go with the best explanation, which is always going to be a "maybe" or an "I suppose." Some phenomenon just don't grab me when I know they're intractable.

\"It is, brahmin, because of attachment to views, adherence to views, fixation on views, addiction to views, obsession with views, holding firmly to views that ascetics fight with ascetics.\"
