Many animals including the brittle star and snapping shrimp make their homes inside sea sponges here the animals not only find safe shelter but they also have a constant flow of well oxygen to water and may even eat the substance produced by the sponges the sponges are not affected in any way by the presence of these animals which type of relationship does this represent?

This type of relationship represents commensalism, where one species benefits (the animals living in the sea sponges) and the other is not affected (the sponges).
