That is odd. Are you seeing any signs of illness with the clowns?
 
Not as right now i found a crab pretty big and took him out thinking it was him but no luck that has protain skimmer sump reactor stable at 79-80 temp. A ground probe, and i get them eating super good and they just die with no sign of trying to get eaten or any white spots

Clowns are normally naturally resistant to Cryptocaryon (marine ich). They are subject to Brooklynella which is called clown fish disease. The most obvious symptom is that it looks like their skin is sloughing off.

Clownfish are typically very hardy. The fact you have a blue tang makes me doubt it is a water quality issue. Those fish are normally hard to keep healthy. :confused:
