7 Feeding relationships

8 Symbiosis Symbiosis means living together and when speaking of marine biology it refers to a close relationship between two species. An example is a clown fish and an anemone. These symbiotic relationships can be divided into three categories: Mutualism- both species benefit. Commensalism- One specie benefits and one is not affected. Parasitism- One specie benefits and the other is harmed. += <3
