Welcome to Reef2Reef! Sorry to hear about your clownfish. Before you put the little guys in the tank did you have a chance to treat them with any parasite removers? I also suggest looking up QT techniques. You’re in a great place for help! Just keep asking we’re here to help!

White sheen on clowns was prob a disease.
A picture of them would have helped id the issue.

That white sheen you mentioned is brooklynella and AKA clown disease. That would make sense.
Observe future clowns for the same, heavy breathing and eating Before purchase.
Acclimate well, freshwater dip and introduce

Hello All

I setup my first reef tank back in June. It has been an interesting journey. I recently had a couple small clowns die. I have tested my water and everything seems ok. Hoping to find some help.

Welcome to the channel. The heavy breathing could have been because they could have had a parasite. Did you purchase your fish from a local store, then placed them into your tank?

Welcome to R2R. Always sad to lose a clown. Sadder to lose two. Lots of knowledgeable and helpful people here who will support and advise you when needed.
