What other symbiotic relationships are there?

Other than what?

Coral/zooxanthellae
anemone/clownfish
anemone/crab
cleaner fish/fish
cleaner shrimp/fish
there are many bacteria/animal and bacteria/plant relationships

Clowns and anemones.
I've heard some damsels (particularly the domino) can live in anemones too.
Gobies and pistol shrimp.
Pom pom crabs and anemones.
Acro crabs and acros.
In the wild certain species of moray eels and groupers.
And the most abundant one in captivity that no one ever seems to think of, coral and zooxanthellae :)
There's plenty more, but at the moment I can't think of any.

like they eat acro polyps?

That's been debated somewhat. Some say they are eating algae off of it, or they don't necessarily eat enough to hurt the acros. I think it would depend how big of a population of acros you have, also.

Baby fish and long spine sea urchins.
I don't know if that counts as symbiotic because I don't know what benefit the urchin gets out of it, but it's cool to see any way :)

I saw in the Coral magazine that cardinal fish use the black long spine urchins.
