The pilot fish and a shark. The pilot fish cleans sharks of parasites. so sharks gets cleaned and pilot fish gets free meal.

Also, a clown fish is given a home in a sea anemone and is protected by it. In return, the sea anemone is protected by the clown fish.

These examples are true, of mutualism.

An example of mutualism in the ocean is the goby fish and the tiger pistol shrimp. While the shrimp makes a burrow for this fish, the fish protects the shrimp. Another example is the clown fish and anemone. Mutualism is when two different organisms have a relationship that is beneficial for both.

Remora and sharks.

Remora are little fish that attach themselves onto sharks and pick their teeth for food. So, while they get their food the sharks get clean teeth.
