Symbiosis in the Sea

Organisms mutually
reciprocate within the sea:

remora and a feeding shark
share a meal through the dark.

Anemones and hermit crabs
protecting as the other grabs

while coral and its algae give
energies to each to live

- and then the shrimp and goby's pact:
the former cleans, the latter acts.

So naturally, they educate:
"survival" means "collaborate."
