No, neither of the two organisms is harmed in commensalism. Commensalism is a type of relationship between two organisms where one benefits, and the other is unaffected. An example is one wherein birds move into a field behind or among cattle that are grazing. The cattle stir up insects, which the birds eat. The birds benefit from the actions of the cattle, and this helps the birds. The cattle are just conducting "business as usual" and are unaffected by the action of the birds.

No. In a commensalist relationship, one organism benefits, while the other organism neither benefits nor is harmed.

Commensalism is a type of symbiosis in which one organism benefits and the other is neither helped nor harmed. Examples: clownfish and sea anemone; bird's nest in a tree; spanish moss.
