I've woke up to my clowns acting strangely this morning, both are laid on the sandbed hardly moving but still breathing. Neither of them are eating either, I also have a spotted mandarin and a fire shrimp both of which are fine. I added some rocks yesterday so maybe there is an ammonia Spike, but I'm unable to test for it at the moment. Any ideas what could be wrong with them??

Ammonia would effect all your fish not just the clowns.
Clowns are fairly hardy and often used as starter fish for cycling like damsels were.

I would pull the rocks and do a water change and see if they recover.
I dont know of anything thats Clown specific.
So I cant help there.
 
I would probably move them Into a hospital tank or do a large water change and remove the rock Into a bucket with the old tank water.
