Post mortem identification is tough. Have some white light pics and a short video of the one still alive?

Read through the link I provided and answer as many questions as you can. It will make it much easier when some of the experts show up.

Very hard to tell with white fish under white lights but trying to freeze frame by frame, and may be brooklynella. Some symptoms will be the amount of slime on its body. The thick mucus on its body is a second sign which is noticeable on the fish. This mucus generally starts at the facial area as well as gills and spreads across the body producing lesions as it progresses often confused with ich and can turn into secondary bacteria. Other symptoms will be lethargic behavior, refusing to eat and heavy breathing from the mucus.

My two possible diagnoses are" Mycobacterium (evidenced by the stiff body swimming posture of the clownfish) and/or velvet. Amyloodinium (based on the rapid breathing).

There is still a blenny alive though? Is it breathing fast?

Photos of this fish and a short video might help diagnosis.

Also it probably is not velvet considering she lasted 1 week after she started to get sick and doesn’t velvet kill fast

The blenny is breathing a bit fast, but they often do breath a bit faster than other species. As long as it is still eating well, I wouldn't worry.

No - you do need to let things settle down in that tank. I’m not sure if the clowns died from the same issue as the fire fish. I would set up a quarantine tank - you can use that for new fish and you could even move the blenny over and treat it there as well….either way, I would wait at least six weeks to ensure something isn’t still going on in there.
