While the one clown is breathing extremely fast, the other fish are all breathing faster than they should as well. Your water parameters look fine. Any chance of some accidental toxins got in the water? If not, I'd have to say that this is velvet, Amyloodinium. It is a fish gill parasite that kills very quickly. the best treatment is coppersafe in a treatment tank.
