Let's see everyone's symbiotic or commensual relationships with in our aquariums. There are tons of different examples. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/09/744599367b826e60a42b99956b9853e4.jpg here is a yellow watchman goby and a tiger pistol shrimp in my nano tank. The goby is the "eyes" and brings food back to the shrimp and the shrimp digs the tunnels and can pop a would-be predator. The shrimp hardly ever takes An antenna off of the goby. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/09/18d3ef4cf890acefcbef07d9afcfaff1.jpg this is an anemone crab in my RBTA the crab gets protection from the anemone, and eats mucous off of the anemone. To my knowledge the anemone is neither helped or harmed.
