Green algae grows in a sloth's fur because the sloth's slow movement and low body temperature provide an ideal environment for algae to thrive. The algae benefits from the moisture and warmth in the sloth's fur, while the sloth gains camouflage from the green coloration. This relationship is a form of symbiosis where both the sloth and the algae benefit.

A commensal relationship requires that one organism benefits from the relationship without affecting the other organism. So, in order for that to be true, the algae would have to be neutral to the sloth... not harming it or aiding it (those relationships would be defined differently). It would have to not affect it at all.
