In a 3 g tank, you cannot keep any clownfish hosting anemone. It is just too small. Try a Condylactis gigantea (non hosting Atlantic anemone)
Your light also just too little for any host anemone. I would just return any anemone you got back to the LFS. They have no chance in your nano tank, in a beginner's hand. I have an Onyx A. percula pair that accepted a Condylactis gigantea as host. This is in a 20 g bare bottom tank in my Son's class room. I donated this to the school and my son (8 year old) is tanking care of it. I help him a little with water change in the weekend and bring in RO water for top off. He is feeding the tank also. Everything is automatic on timer with minimal care. His teacher is an animal, fish lover but never have a reeftank. She is keeping an eye on things and call me if there is any problem.
