Quote from wikipedia:

Clownfish are native to warmer waters of the Indian and Pacific oceans, including the Great Barrier Reef and the Red Sea. While most species have restricted distributions, others are widespread. Clownfish live at the bottom of the sea in sheltered reefs or in shallow lagoons. There are no clownfish in the Atlantic.

Answer:

Basically clown fish live in many areas in the world and i am quite sure that there actually some clownfish in the Alantic due to ppl releasing them into the wild as they do not want them as pets anymore. Also, they have a mutual syn-biotic relationship with anemones so you will find them near anemones.

Relationship:

The clown fish is immune to the anemone's poison so it hides in it for protection against predators and the clownfish lures "food" (fish) to the anemone.
