Mutualism
Mutualism is the symbiotic relationship between two organisms of different species that is mutually benefit their growth, survival, and reproduction. Mutualism can occur in plants as well as animals. With animals, it is common for them to share nutrients, stability, or provide shelter for one of them. For example, clownfish tend to stay amongst anemones for shelter. The clownfish create a layer of mucus to withstand the anemone's toxic tentacles while receiving protection from predators from these.
