A cymothoid isopod lives inside the mouth of a snapper fish. The isopod severs blood vessels in the fish's tongue, causing the tongue to atrophy and degenerate. The isopod then hooks its pereopods, or legs, to the base of the fish's tongue, essentially replacing the tongue. The isopod stays there for the rest of its life, feeding on blood, mucus, and stray pieces of food from the fish.

An alpheid shrimp digs and maintains a deep burrow. While underground, the shrimp is safe. Above ground, it is vulnerable to predators. A goby fish lives in the burrow with the shrimp. The goby fish sits at the entrance, keeping watch for predators, and swims by, the goby darts into the burrow and the shrimp retreats further inside. These two animals are completely dependent on each other--the goby benefits by getting a burrow to live in and the shrimp knows when predators are near.

Corals feed off the byproducts of a microscopic algae living within their own tissue, called zooxanthellae. The photosynthetic activity of the algae is vital to the survival of the coral animals, which use the energy to extract calcium from the seawater and build their calcareous skeletons. The zooxanthellae are protected by the hard coral and obtain plant nutrients from the coral.
