Remoras on a shark. These small fish get food. They eat a parasite. That is what the remora gets as well as not being eaten by the shark. The sharks gets a much cleaner and healthier exterior. Parasites can be irritating or even worse. This is mutualism.
A snail finds a shell, a conch. Climbs inside, like a slug. The empty sea shell gains nothing. Of course the shell is not alive. Maybe it was another organisms shell that was abandoned or is inedible. The snail gains protection. Example of commensalism.
Or, say perhaps a hermit crab or a similar animal that like having those sea shells for armor. Come to think of it not sure how sea shells are formed actually. Need to research that and get back to this.
Back. Did a little digging. Says they form from marine mollusks such as clams, oysters, nautilus, and bunches of other organisms.
Has to be alive though, so the mollusk or organism the shell originally belonged to discards it or neither gains anything or loses anything important to it at the time, and the crab or snail gains something.
The nautilus is great, gastropods, snails like those. Perhaps the nautilus just passes on actually so it does not gain or lose if the shell is absconded with.

This is an EASY question ... it will be more rewarding for you to figure it out!
Remember:
Mutualism is when both species benefit.
Commensalism is when some lives in, on, or with something else without either receiving harm.
Parasitism is when the host receives harm while the parasite benefits.

ok umm.Commensalism, like the sun fish and sea bird, it swims up the surface and flips on its side and the birds pick of the bugs, parasitism, the greenland shark, get a little worm thing on its eyes,mutualism, the Clownfish and sea anemones
