Not sure what’s wrong with my moca clownfish it’s laying down

 
I could be wrong, but it looks like it's breathing kind of hard. It may have some sort of parasite on its gills.

Do you quarantine?
If not, it light help to give it a freshwater dip.
 
Looks like the other clown is harassing it. Could be stress!

I would just freshwater dip and wait a few hours. See if anything falls off. Make sure to use a dark container and aerate it heavily. If something does fall off, it may help to use API General Cure.

Google Flukes. There should be some videos you can watch to see if think that is what is going on. If that is the case, them a Freshwater dip should take care of it. Is the clown eating?

I wouldn't. Clowns can be weird when it comes to behavior. I would definitely keep an eye on aggression with that many clown in the tank. If the questionable behavior of the sleepy clown is made worse by aggression from the others, definitely separate them
 
Agree with clown does wired stuff . My clowns sleep like a sandwich on top of each other.
Aggression is the bigger problem, I had one clown killed the other before.
 
They came from my display tank which had a ick now they’re in qt with copper
