Since your tank is brand new and you have lost other fish I would go thru the basics starting with these 2
Have you cycled the tank?
What is your ammonia level?

Quarantine should be your first plan of action followed by a fallow period in your display to negate any hidden parasites.
Usually sick fish dont last long in an untreated display.
I would set up a hospital tank and treat the sick fish with a few different things and observe.
Please direct yourself to the fish disease forum and read the stickys for proper QT.

Just like taking care of any animal. If its sick, you need to provide treatment. If you cant provide treatment, maybe you should not be keeping living things at the moment.
Sorry to be so cut and dry but this is how i feel about not providing proper treatment for a sick being.

The areas around his mouth? Looks more like an infection to me.
FWIW, clowns can be treated in a 5 gallon bucket with a small preset heater and an air stone or hob filter. Doesn’t take up much room and should only cost you $30. Just do large water changes every couple of days.

Not eating us a very bad sign that they are on their way out.
Set up a QT with proper meds as this is unlikely to be your only encounter with sick fish and you will need it moving forward.
I just use cheap Rubbermaid containers for QT.

Well it looks like brook, you wont be able to medicate in the tank which means you need to set up a quarantine container and do a bath in something like quick cure or rally.
Theres plenty of threads on treatment of brook.
A fw dip may give some relief but they need to be medicated out of your display tank bottom line.
I would do as much reading as possible on the quarantine stickys.
Heres a good read for your situation.
