2.) Based on videoclip # 2, identify 4 interactions of two groups of organisms that are present in
the video. Determine the type of general interaction and explain why you have determined such
interactions to be present between each pair.

Pair 1: Long spined sea urchin and Algae

-The sea urchin reduce the abundance of Coral Algae and shows Herbivory type of
interation.

Pair2: Starfish and Sea urchin

-They have mutual interaction where both species are present and is able to
enhance the fitness of both thereby providing a synergistic boost to their growth.

Pair 3: Titan Triggerfish and Long spined sea urchin

-The Titan Triggerfish and Long spined sea urchin shows a predator and prey interaction
where Titan Triggerfish plays as predator of sea urchin where Triggerfish serve as hunter and
protector of starfish to prevent harm to coral reefs.

Pair 4: Titan Triggerfish and Coral reef

-They have mutual interaction where Titan triggerfsih keep the coral reef
ecosystem in balance where it protects it territory agains venomous spines of long spined sea
urchin and starfish. So with the presence of both organism, they enhance both of their fitness
providing growth.
