I have 2 clowns and they are territorial, along with 3 Domino Damsels. Those 3 mostly chase each other around. The clowns mainly stick to the Anemone, but they will chase someone off. My female clown is currently in "timeout" in the sump for bullying my Royal Gramma.
Like the above said, sounds like Ick. Get yourself a 2-5Gal glass tank from Petco, or LFS. I bought one from Petco/Petsmart (one of those two) that had filtration for super cheap. I used it for my hospital tank. Since what you will likely treat them with is not something you want to use in your DT...as it will kill other items. So, what I used on my Clowns was Hyposalinity, and QuickCure. I did a Fresh Water Drip prior to putting them in the HT. Left the DT empty, no fish, for 6weeks. Left the fish in the hospital tank for that same period (obviously). If all is well, every few days, begin raising the Salinity back up to the DT. Then, I emptied most of the water out of the HT, and dripped from the DT. Quick Fresh Water Dip prior to adding back to the tank.
I would also think about adding a UV Light, as once Ick is in your tank, its hard to get rid of even by leaving the tank fishless for 6weeks. I plan to do the same...as I learned my lesson by trying to house a Regal Tang. Won't do that again until I get a UV Light installed to help prevent Ick outbreaks.
I'm no expert by any means...this was just what I used as a method, and is what I read/told was the usual means of trying to get everything back healthy again.
