This ant was found by Boulay et al. (2007) to be one of two important ant dispersers (also Formica lugubris) of myrmecochorous seeds of the plant Helleborus feotidus. C. cruentatus was responsible for 45% of the observed visits and 67% of the observed seed removals from a population from southern Spain.

Other Insects
This ant has been observed tending larvae of Lampides boeticus. C. cruentatus has also been associated with the butterfly Glaucopsyche alexis (Obregon et al. 2015).
- This species is a host for the phorid fly Microselia rivierae (a parasitoid) (Quevillon, 2018) (encounter mode primary; direct transmission; transmission outside nest).
- This species is a host for the strepsipteran Pseudacteon obtusus (a parasite) (Quevillon, 2018) (encounter mode independent; direct transmission; transmission outside nest; as Camponotus punctulatus cruentatus).
Fungi
This taxon is a host for the fungi Ophiocordyceps halabalaensis and Ophiocordyceps ridleyi (Shrestha et al., 2017).
