SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS

REEF LIZARD FISH- CLEANER WRASSE

• It is a mutualistic relationship meaning both organisms benifit from the symbiosis

WHERE THEY ARE FOUND/WHAT THEY EAT

• They are both found in coral reefs
• the reef lizard fish gets its energy through eating fish that are smaller than itself
• The cleaner wrasse gets its energy through eating nutrients and parasites off fish

What they do for each other is the cleaner wrasse cleans off the reef lizard fish, the cleaner wrasse benifits by eating the nutrients off the reef lizard fish.

SPONGE CRAB-SEA SPONGE

• It is a mutalistic relationship which means both animals benifit from the symbiosis

WHERE THEY ARE FOUND/ HOW THEY GET ENERGY

• They both can be found anywhere in an ocean
• Seacrabs get energy through eating clams,museels, and sea urchins
• The sea sponges gets its energy through eating plankton and organic particles

Their role in the relation ship is the crab uses the sponge as camouflage from predators, in return the sponge can eat more while its moving

HERMIT CRAB-GIANT TRITON

• The symbiosis is commenlism because only one organism benifits but the other is not harmed

WHERE THEY ARE FOUND/HOW THEY GET THEIR ENERGY

• Hermit crabs are found in shallow water,beaches, and along the coast of Chesapeake Bay
• The giant triton is found in temprate tropical places
• The hermit crabs gets its energy by eating small fish,plankton, and worms
• The giant triton gets its energy by eating molluscs and starfish

The organisms roles in the relationship is when the giant triton dies the hermit crab takes its shell to live in... Kinda morbid right?
