Species principle: Symbiosis
Live with the sting.
Danger becomes home when you learn the terms of living with it.
Clownfish live among sea anemone tentacles, gaining protection from predators while the anemone may receive cleaning, nutrients, or defense. Their mucus helps them avoid being stung.
Species principle: Solar Partnership
Host the light.
Stillness can become abundance when it learns to host light.
Giant Clams host symbiotic algae in their tissues. The algae photosynthesize and help provide energy while the clam rests open in sunlit reef water.

Farm the vent.
Strange places reward the one who learns what can be tended there.
Yeti Crabs live near deep-sea hydrothermal vents and use hairy setae on their claws to cultivate or collect bacteria for food.
