An example of parasitism would be Sea Lice with a Sun Fish. The Sea Lice will suck the Sun Fish's blood until it dies off as the Sun Fish is the host. This is beneficial to the Sea Lice but very harmful to the Sun Fish. Shrimp and Eels have a mutualistic relationship. This is because the Shrimp cleans the Eels mouth. Both species benefit because the Shrimp gets a meal and the Eel gets its teeth cleaned. The relationship between Clown fish and sea anemones is a great example of commensalism because the Clown fish benefits from the relationship and while the anemone doesn't, it also isn't harmed. The anemone is a home for the fish.
