A hermit crab crawls along the sediment with an anemone hitching a ride. These anemones will live on the shells of the hermit crabs forever. This relationship is beneficial for both parties, the crab gets the protection of the anemones stinging cells, and the anemone is moved around to different places, so maximizes the chances of getting enough food.
