So what's the answer?

Our big mama nuzzles them too though. So it's for cleaning them? Thanks!

That's what we read in that Clownfish book that's in the MAAST library. I did a little reading to prepare my lesson for a friend's home-schooled daughter and friend who came over for their marine biology lesson / field trip. Luckily we had a nice clutch of clownfish eggs at the time and the 8-year old girls had lots of questions so I was glad I had done my homework!
I was the coolest teacher ever because I let them each touch and play with an asterina starfish!

You know, you gotta make sure the men do the job right. If they don't you gotta do it yourself.
