I came home and found 1 of my clownfish breath heavily and rapidly ... all my other fish looks normal .. this fish been in the tank for 2 years

Anything missing in the tank? Nem die?

Double check all parameters including ammonia.

In cases like this, always assume water quality issue and change water, at least 15-20%.
First as Merkey indicated. . . test your ammonia level, salt level, tank temperature. < all reasons while fish breath heavy. Dissolved oxygen is low somehow,

adding airstone help?
