The relationship between the boxer crab and the anemone is a form of symbiosis, called mutualism.

Explanation:

The boxer crab —Lybia tesselata— receives its name because it carries anemones in its anterior claws, in the form of boxing gloves, constituting a symbiotic association of a mutual type.

Mutualism is an interspecific relationship where two individuals of different species benefit from each other.

The anemone —usually of the genus Triactis or Bunodeopsis— has tentacles capable of secreting a stinging substance that contributes to the defense of the crab against its natural predators. On the other hand, the crab helps the anemone to transport and feeds on the food remains left by the crab.
