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
no
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 between a hermit crab and a sea anemone is a mutualistic one, where both species benefit. The hermit crab gains protection from predators as the anemone's stinging tentacles deter threats, while the anemone benefits from being transported to new feeding grounds and receiving scraps of food from the crab. Additionally, the anemone can gain access to sunlight and water currents that enhance its feeding and respiration. This partnership exemplifies how different species can coexist and support each other's survival in marine ecosystems.
Commensalism
mutalism
No. Hermit crabs and sea anemones have a symbiotic relationship that is not the typical prey/predator relationship of most organisms.
A shell provides protection and shelter for a hermit crab, which uses it as its home. The hermit crab carries the shell on its back and can move to a larger one as it grows. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the hermit crab and the shell.
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.
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.
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).
Its symbiotic though mostly for the crabs benefit - most anemones are sessile - that is fixed in place and get food from whatever comes by. A crab will actually take on in its claws and put it on its shell - even Hermit crabs will put one on their fake shells - this is to protect the crab. Anemones have stinging tentacles to protect themselves and with these crabs can protect themselves against predators, in particular Octopuses which would otherwise have the crab for a snack - its not just a one way relationship though - as the anemone is always around when crabs eat, they benefit from the messy eating habits, foods stuff float by and the anemone can eat them.
