Um, pardon my ignorance but this being a saltwater clownfish, doesn't the fish already "technically" have salt in its mouth/surroundings already??

Kayleb, you may want to try giving the fish a freshwater dip if the possibility of an intestinal blockage is apparent. The change in osmotic pressure I think is what loosens the blockage. I don't know how long you would want to do this for. Maybe someone who has done FW dips on SW fish could chime in here??
