Last night all was fine and I decided to feed the anemone and the fish some storebought fresh salmon...
Today both clownfish are not coming out, my orange ocellaris has slightly protruding eyes (this is slight, they are both equal in size and not enormous at all), and i'm not sure on the black one. They are both being seclusive, and they both have their fins down and the black one seems to be swimming primarily upside down, but not looking helpless. They are hiding under the anemone.
I don't see any parasites and haven't taken notice of poop yet, but i'll keep an eye on them. I also see no mucus or any other signs of trouble. I'm not sure what is wrong, but they don't look right. Maybe something the storebought salmon is treated with? I've fed storebought salmon before and not had this trouble.
The anemone looks fine, the coral looks fine. I have no other fish, just two clowns. I am heating up saltwater for a water change right now.
What is this, and what can I do? Please help my fish! I am almost done setting up my 36g tank. I can have it running by tomorrow night and can move them there if I need to for some kind of treatment, but I don't know what i'm treating or what to do

I should mention nothing new has been added lately in terms of fish. They were purchased seperately but have been together for at least 2 months now.
