It doesn't look like it is dying. How big is the clown compare to the anemone? Have you checked water chemistry?

The clowns are small and about 1/6 of the size of the anemone and water chemistry is perfect , since that photo was taken the anemone looks abit better now but maybe it’s splitting?

Has it always been that color? It looks a little bleached to me.

It could be getting ready to split or the clown might be too aggressive when it’s in it

It's very bleached, and it is common for BTA to split new to a tank and new params, but I don't see obvious indicators of that just from those pics, maybe you are seeing something I'm not.
Either way it needs to color up, mysis towards it a couple times a week should help
