There is a famous example of ant + acacia tree, where the tree provides enlarged, hollow thorns to house the ants, and the ants provide protection to the tree.
The symbiotic mutualism between nitrogen fixing bacteria and legume plants is extremely important not just to the organisms involved, but also to us and our agricultural practises.
There are numerous examples of cleaning behaviours, where a bird or fish will pick the parasites off another critter - one gets rid of parasites, and the cleaner gets a meal. The Egyptian plover that gleans leeches from the gums of Nile crocodiles is the most startlingly photogenic example, but it's extremely common in fish.
