The relationship between the hermit crab and the sea anemone is a type of **Mutualism (M)**. The hermit crab benefits by having protection from predators due to the stinging tentacles of the sea anemone, while the sea anemone benefits from being carried to different locations for food and access to a greater range of nutrients.
