When a sea snail dies, its shell eventually washes up on shore, where the hermit crab uses it as its new home. Therefore this would be commensalism, however since the snail already died there is no living symbiosis.
the hermit crab attaches the anemone to its shell as protection from the big fish with the sharp teeth and octopuses and squids and you know what else is a hermitcrab YOUR MOTHERR:P
COMMENSALISM as the crab benefits as the sea anemone provides it with protection but the sea anemone doesn't benefits nor is harmed by the crab
the truth as it seems is that there is not an interelationship with a hermit crab and sea anemone but there is one with the sea anemone and the anemone fish
I guess it would be a commensalistic relationship.
symbiosis
no
One example: A sea anemone and hermit crab have a mutual relationship. The sea anemone protects the crab and the crab provides food.

Usually the anemone will attach itself to the shell of the hermit crab for transportation as well as the ocassional food gathering. And the hermit crab recieves protection from the anemone through the use of the anemone's natural ability of stinging things that get too close.

The symbiotic relationship is mutualism
they are really big like you
mutualism
This would generally be viewed as a symbiotic or mutual relationship. The anemone benefits by being transported to different locations, some of which may be richer in food supply. The crab benefits from the camouflage the anemone provides, the partial protection of having a stinging anemone in close proximity and also from pieces of food which the anemone may drop.
Commensalism
clownfish and anemone, hermit crab and anemone, and some types of fish clean other fish to eat their dead scales and parasites.
When both organisms benefit from a symbiotic relationship, it is known as "mutualism." Other common types of symbiosis include "commensalism" (when one benefits and the other is unaffected) and "parasitism" (when one benefits and the other suffers).
