One example of a symbiotic relationship of a snail is when the snail abandons its shell. The shell is picked up and used by a hermit crab. This type of symbiotic relationship is referred to as commensalism because it helps one animal and neither hurts nor harms the other.

The snail gets to eat the waste(dung) of the wombat, and the wombat is able to push it all out, and its more comfortable afterwards.

What is the relationship between snails and elodea?
Elodea is a genus of aquatic plants often called the waterweeds.Snails includes sea snails, land snails and freshwater snails. Snails lacking a shell or having only a very small one are usually called slugs. Snails that have a broadly conical shell that is not coiled or appears not to be coiled are usually known as limpets.
What are two organisms of different species that live together and both benefit from living arrangements?
This question is somewhat vague but it sounds like you are asking about symbiotic relationships, the living together of unlike organisms. It can be defined broadly as mutualism where both benefit, parasitic where only the parasite benefits, or commensal, where one benefits and the other is not significantly harmed or benefitted. Others define it more narrowly as strictly as mutualism. Hope this answwers your question.

A scientist is trying to determine the relationship between clams, snails, and squid. When she generates a molecular clock, she is surprised to see that clams and squid are more closely related than clams and snails. Which did the molecular clock data show?
What is the difference between sluggs and snails?
Snails have a hard shell protecting them. Slugs do not.
Is the relationship between hermit crab and snail shell commensalism?
This would generally be viewed as a symbiotic or mutual relationship. The anemone benefits by being transported to different locations, some of which may be richer in food supply. The crab benefits from the camouflage the anemone provides, the partial protection of having a stinging anemone in close proximity and also from pieces of food which the anemone may drop.
What is the relationship between a hermit and a snail shell?
What I know of that is hermit crabs will eat snails. However, hermit crabs will often use an empty shell of a sea snail.
What factors causes snails and hydrilla to depend on each other?
Snails depend on Hydrillas for food and oxygen while Hydrillas depend on snails for carbon dioxide
What is the difference between garden snails and apple snails?
Apple snails are freshwater aquatic snails. Garden snails are land snails.Apple snails have lungs and gillsGarden snails have lungs onlyApple snails skin is thin and translucent (with slime)Garden snails skin is thick and leathery (with slime)All apple snails have two sets of antennaeGarden snails have species with one and two sets.
What animals have symbiotic relations with periwinkle snails?
Periwinkles will out grow their shells, another creature will then take that shell and the periwinkle will take another old shell. This is an example of symbiosis. :)
