Hey everyone! Interaction between different species is one of my favorite parts of this hobby, so I thought I’d ask what everyone’s favorite symbiotic or commensal (not detrimental/parasitic) relationship is either in aquaria or the ocean. Are there any that are really cool to you?

For me, a few of my favorites are: conches and conch fish, green-banded gobies and rock-boring urchins, and the starfish shrimp (Zenoptonia soror - not to be confused with the emperor shrimp, Zenoptonia rex) and starfish.
