Try some water changes. Could be ammonia making them dart to the surface.

my tank hasn't been running that long but everything in it is from the tank they were previously in. i also have two corals in there and one coral is slowly fading *yea something is wrong* but very strangely the other coral is turning green on the one section and red on the other, its very strange..so far one clown has died the other one almost died but i moved it to another tank, a holding one and I'm doin water changes

temp: 76
Ammonia: should be around 0, 0-1, although I should test again
n02 normal
n03 unknown
Other factors:
turned the pump on, they started movin to the surface but swimming well, lookin for food it appeared, then about 20 min later they stopped movin so much

Yestorday, my hermit decided to come out of its shell and couldn't get back in when it tried the next day

Could be when I turned the pump on I burst a bubble algea, but I don't see any and there weren't any last time I checked

oh yea, salinity *i checked 10 times to be sure because it was the only thing which I could think may be causing trouble* is just around 1.023, sometimes when i measure its just below or above, so average is 1.023

I also added extra conditioner when I noticed my first clown died and I moved the still alive clown with double normal conditioner and it so far is alive, moving around a bit in its holding tank

would it be smart to take my not running carbon filter and run it for a bit to possibly clean up the water?
