A symbiotic relationship is an association that is mutually beneficial. Wrasse fish feed on the parasites found on the black sea bass's body. In this case, Wrasse gets to eat, and sea bass gets rid of parasites. It's a Win-Win.
Wrasse are "cleaner fish." They will eat the small parasites on the bodies of other fish. Large fish show up at wrasse "cleaning stations" to be freed of parasites, while the wrasse get a meal. It's a good deal for everybody except the parasites - most of the time. Nothing's ever perfect, though, and sometimes the large fish don't get with the program and try to eat the wrasse. Also, there's a fish called a blenny that looks a bit like a wrasse [it's a Batesian mimic, which see] and it uses this appearance to sneak up and take a bite out of the bass or other large fish.

yo mutha
This relationship is defined as mutualism, meaning both parties benefit mutually from the relationship. In this example, the wrasse cleans the bass, and the wrasse gets food. The bacteria is gone from the skin of the sea bass, and the cleaner wrasse has food. The relationship clearly benefits both parties.

Some species of Wrasse, eg Cleaner Wrasse have a symbiotic relationship with larger fish, eg Groupers, Sharks, etc whereby the wrasse will clean parasites from the body of the larger fish helping to keep it healthy, and the larger fish provides the wrasse some degree of protection from predation as well as food in the form of parasites and scraps.
