A starfish and a scale worm have a commensal relationship (commensal is a type of symbiotic relationship where the host benefits the stowaway but doesn't harm the host):

The sea star provides protection and food for the scale worm. The scale worm doesn't harm the sea star, therefore it is a commensal relationship.
