Reef - Symbiosis

http://www.scubazoo.com To survive underwater some animals have developed symbiotic relationships with other organisms. Cleaner shrimp offer their services to bigger animals, climbing inside their mouths to do the job. Others live in or on another animal.

This underwater video is taken from the DVD included in Scubazoo's 360 page coffee table book 'Reef'

Symbiotic relationships seem to be part and parcel of evolutionary progression. Especially in the marine environment this beneficial interaction is commplace if not more so on coral reef ecosystems. Great Video!!! A*****

These animals definitely developed these mutually advantageous relationships...unless you believe god did it all. Nature is definitely flippin' awesome!

[darkclown789]

You are incorrect that they "developed" symbiotic relationships. They have always been this way.

The subject natter is great too. Amazing how animals rely on each other. I think there is a lesson there for humans. Great work! Great Org.
