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.


What type of symbiotic relationship does the boxer crab and anemones have?

The boxer crab carries small anemones on its front legs to ward off attackers. The anemone might benefit by getting to eat the boxer crab's leftover food. If both benefit, it's mutualism. If only one benefits and the other is unharmed, it's commensalism.
