First of all after just 1 month you shouldnt yet get a anemone. Wait till at least the 6-8 month mark for best results.
Secondly there is no promise that a clown will even host a anemone... so you just kinda have to hope for the best.
Thirdly when the anemone closes up for the night the clown will most likely (if it hosts it) dive into it and just sit in whatever part of the anemone it can fit itself into.
Fourthly what kinda lighting do you have on that tank? Anemones like a lot of lighting and I would wonder if it would be enough.... 12 gallon nano is small and btas can get pretty good sized.
