Shrimp
Died two days ago and clown today. Levels are all good. No ammonia nitrates or nitrites.
Only thing I did was leave frozen food out it thawed I refroze it. Think that did it? I added chemi pure to
Sump also. But....
 
I would not think that would have been the issue. Was the clown sick for a while?
 
That is a bummer for sure. You mentioned ammonia/nitrite/nitrates. How about other stuff like specific gravity (and how do you measure?). Disease can be a cause also for the clown. Temperature swings etc...? Perhaps bring some water by your LFS and have a conversation. Odds are there is someone there who will help.
 
I am having trouble with my euphyallia as well. Which I posted about so I just had all my parameters checked at LFS a week ago. I have not noticed a temp swing but anything is possible.
I use refractometer to check salinity. It's been good.
 
"Good" is a relative quality. Please post the values of your parameters so we can better assess the current state of your tank.

Ammonia 0
Nitrite. 0
Nitrate. 0-5
Salinity. 1.024
Temp. 80
Calcium. 420
