What type of symbiosis?
*Snapping Shrimp have poor and depend on their goby fish roommate to give the danger signal when predators come and guide them
back home if they wander too far.   
*  Goby fish who don't have a place to hide are quickly eaten. They find a Snapping Shrimp roommate who digs a hole for both to live in.

What type of symbiosis?
*Remora use suckers to attach temporarily to large marine animals such as sharks, manta rays, whales, turtles, or large fish.
*The shark provides free transportation, protection, and dropped food and feces which the remora feeds on. The host is not injured.

What type of symbiosis?
*Fungi form lichens by living in a close relationship with an algae. The fungus provides a protective home for the algae,  and gathers mineral nutrients from rainwater and from dissolving the rock underneath.
*The algae gathers energy from the sun using photosynthesis. Both organisms share their nutrients with each other.
