Sea Anemone and Clown Fish have a Mutualistic Symbiotic relationship, meaning both members derive some benefit from the arrangement. In this case, the fish gains shelter and protection from the bigger meaner things that swim around the reefs, and the Anemone gains a live-in maid service that takes care of pretty much all the potential parasites that would otherwise endanger it.
