Answer:

Commensalism is a type of symbiotic relationship where one party benefits and the other party is not significantly affected. A hermit crab takes over a discarded shell of a snail and uses it for his house. The hermit crab benefits and the snail are not affected - it's already discarded the shell and is nowhere around.
