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.
no
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
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 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
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.
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.
One example: A sea anemone and hermit crab have a mutual relationship. The sea anemone protects the crab and the crab provides food.
clownfish and anemone, hermit crab and anemone, and some types of fish clean other fish to eat their dead scales and parasites.
