Mutualistic: The decorator crabs take sponges from the water and stick to them to their bodies. As the colour of the sponges is similar to crabs, it lets them hide from predators. The sponges in return take food from the crabs.

Parasitic: The sea urchin lives inside a coral and eat their food which is algae. The corals die due t lack of food.
