Barnacles on a crab's shell improve its toughness, while the barnacles (normally lacking motility) are able to visit more than one location to obtain food, and may even feed on the crab's prey. Some barnacles, however, can cause damage or sterility in some species of crabs.
A shell provides protection and shelter for a hermit crab, which uses it as its home. The hermit crab carries the shell on its back and can move to a larger one as it grows. This symbiotic relationship benefits both the hermit crab and the shell.
The crab spider relies on flowers for camouflage and ambushing prey, while the flower benefits from the spider's presence as it helps protect the plant from herbivores. This mutualistic relationship is an example of symbiosis, where both species benefit from their interactions.
No, a crab on a jellyfish would not be considered commensalism. Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one organism benefits without affecting the other organism. In this case, the crab is potentially benefiting by using the jellyfish for protection, while the presence of the crab may have negative effects on the jellyfish, making it more of a parasitic relationship.
When both organisms benefit from a symbiotic relationship, it is known as "mutualism." Other common types of symbiosis include "commensalism" (when one benefits and the other is unaffected) and "parasitism" (when one benefits and the other suffers).
fish have scales and crabs have a shell
Commensalism
mutalism
The symbiotic relationship is mutualism

no
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
one example are whales and barnacles, the barnacle benefits from the whale because it eats and gets protection, and the whale does not seem to be affected in any way.Commensalism is a symbiotic relationship where one party benefits and the other is not harmed. Examples of commensalism in the ocean are barnacles living on turtles, remoras feeding on a shark's food scraps and a crab that makes its home in an oyster's shell.
becaus is awsome
Snail shells are formed biologically as the snail grows up. Hermit crabs occupy empty shells and other containers, instead.
The crab spider relies on flowers for camouflage and ambushing prey, while the flower benefits from the spider's presence as it helps protect the plant from herbivores. This mutualistic relationship is an example of symbiosis, where both species benefit from their interactions.
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
There is none
