What is your favorite symbiotic relationship in the reef? Mine has to be pistol shrimp/shrimp goby pair.
 
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 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.
 
I'm a big fan of Acro Crabs.

+! !!!

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!

All of them. :)
