Favorite Symbiotic Relationship?

What is your favorite symbiotic relationship in the reef? Mine has to be pistol shrimp/shrimp goby pair.

Coral and zooxanthellae algae

I think one of my favorites is cleaner shrimp/fish. The amount of trust that the big fish wont eat you while you clean his teeth is amazing.

I'm a big fan of Acro Crabs.

I take my previous answer back. Pom Pom Crabs and anemones. Absolutely the best and cutest.

+1. I remember seeing that for the first time very clearly even though it was a long time ago.

We LOVE coral crabs and especially this guy:



And yes, he is blue eyed AND hairy! He has been grooming, sculpting and protecting this coral colony for years in our tank. We watched him protect his "property" a few nights ago after another crab (hitchhiker of some sort and twice his size) entered his coral condo. He ripped the other crabs large clawed legs off, LOL!
