When you saw it was it in the evening?
Our clowns get tired around 8:30-9:00pm... they start swimming in place behind the rocks.

Clowns will generally stay in one area and call that home anyways. Do not expect them to swim around the tank as much as other types of fish. They will usually find a home (anemone, a rock, part of the sand, a powerhead) and don't move far from that location unless getting food.
