(5.03 lc)the boxer crab, lybia tesselata, carries a small pair of anemones in its claws. when approached by a predator, it waves the anemones around, presenting the stinging tentacles and chasing away the predator. the anemones benefit by eating food particles from prey that the crab catches. what type of relationship is this?

Mutualism

Explanation:

Mutualism is the symbiotic association between two organisms in which both the partners are benefited. In the given example, the boxer crab uses the stinging tentacles of anemone to protect itself from the predators. On the other hand, the anemone is benefited by feeding on the particles from the prey caught by crab. Since both crab and anemone are benefited, it is an example of mutualism.
