What is a symbiotic relation between the hermit crab carrying the sea anemone on its back?

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.


What symbiotic relationship does a hermit crab and a sea anemone share?

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.


What kind of symbiotic relationship do the giant anemone and an anemone crab have?

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.


Is the relationship between hermit crab and snail shell commensalism?

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.

What is another example of commensalism besides the whale and barnacles?

Crabs and Shrimps often form commensalistic symbiotic relationships with anemones in tropical waters, again for the purposes of protection from predation. For instance the Anemone crab, Neopetrolisthes oshimai, which is a filter feeding Porcelain crab, lives and captures its food from within the tentacles of giant anemones.See related link for more details.


What is the relationship between sea anemone and hermit crab?

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.
