what type of clowns are they?
what is the size differences between the 3, and did they all come from the same tank at the LFS?

You are probably going to need to remove the smallest clown and re-home him. Once the other two have formed a pair, they don't really tolerate a single additional clown. They're probably chasing him, so move him to a separate container and see if that helps. A breeder box (like for freshwater livebearers) might be helpful to give him space for the time being, but unless they're going into a very large tank, it's probably not going to work out with the three...

I'll put the other 2 in another tank hopefully he'll regain some strength eventually they'll all go into my 75 gallon reef tank

I concur...once they pair...they will end up killing the outsider
