Sea cucumbers, crabs, and shrimp can engage in symbiotic relationships primarily for mutual benefit. For instance, certain shrimp and crabs may inhabit the crevices of sea cucumbers, gaining protection from predators while helping to keep the sea cucumber clean by removing debris and parasites. This relationship enhances the survival of both parties, as the shrimp and crab receive shelter and food, while the sea cucumber benefits from reduced parasitic load.
The emperor shrimp (Periclimenes imperator) has a symbiotic relationship with sea cucumbers, often residing on their bodies for protection and camouflage. In this relationship, the shrimp benefits by gaining a safe habitat and access to food particles that may be stirred up by the sea cucumber's movements. In return, the sea cucumber experiences minimal harm from the shrimp’s presence, as the shrimp does not feed on the cucumber itself. This mutualistic interaction illustrates the interconnectedness of marine ecosystems.

Shrimp, crab, and lobster :)
have evolved a commensalistic symbiotic relationship with sea cucumbers in which the pearl fish will live in sea cucumber's cloaca using it for protection from predation, a source of food (the nutrients passing in and out of the anus from the water), and to develop into their adult stage of life.
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
A symbiotic relationship is shared by two creatures, and will benefit at least one of them. Sea anemones and shrimp do have this relationship.
