Clownfish live in sea anemone because they are benefited by the sea anemone. The sea anemone are also benefited by this relationship. This is called mutualism. The clownfish are the only fish in the sea that are not stung by the sea anemone's long tentacles. Clownfish eat other fish leftover from the anemone. Anemone on the other hand are benefited because they get better water circulation from the anemone swimming around.
The clown fish will find a host anemone and then become inseparable buddies. You can easily replicate this in the aquarium setting by purchasing a bubble tip anemone. The clown fish may or may not immediately host to the anemone. If, after several days, the clown fish still ignores the anemone, you may put the two in a small bowl so the clown fish encounters it more frequently. It may then be persuaded to host to the anemone in the aquarium. No littler than 10 gallons should be used with percula and oclleated clowns, even more so for maroons. In the wild, clown fish require an anemone to survive, so wild caught ones will take interest more in the anemone that tank bred ones.

What is an example of mutualism in an estuary?
•The clownfish and the sea anenome benefit each other. It has been suggested that the activity of the clownfish results in greater water circulation around the sea anemone. In addition to providing food for the clownfish, the sea anemone also provides safety due to its poison. The clownfish is dependent on the sea anemone for its daily bread. After the anemone paralyzes and eats a fish, the clownfish will polish off the remaining uneaten bits and pieces. In return, the clownfish helps to keep the anemone free of dead tentacles by eating these. The clown fish also helps the anemone get food by using its bright coloration to lure unsuspecting fish into the vicinity of the anemone.
