Clownfish has been in the tank 2-3 weeks and has been eating and doing fine. Today he was just laying on his side on the bottom. Scooped him up and put him in a little acclimation box. All other fish, including the one I got with him seem perfectly fine. Any help please. Sucks watching this dude suffer

Looks pretty bad off, I don't think there will be much you can do. Sorry about that.
I’ve read they “play” dead but it’s been about 3 hours. No white dots like brook, idk what is up. Poor guy looks rough

You are doing the best you can by isolating it. The other clown may have beat it up. Maybe add an air stone to the box?
That is something I do not have, I angled the return nozzle up a little more so maybe more oxygen will help.
