Red mangrove trees have roots that prevent soil erosion in coastal areas. They also provide hiding places for the young of coral reef fish. The trees, however, don’t receive any kind of benefit from the coral fish. What kind of symbiotic relationship exists between the trees and the coral fish?

Commensalism, in ecology, is a class of relationships between two organisms where one organism benefits from the other without affecting it. This is in contrast with mutualism, in which both organisms benefit from each other, amensalism, where one is harmed while the other is unaffected, and parasitism, where one benefits while the other is harmed.
