I doubt the clowns ate them. It's not unusual to have them hide for a while, especially when they are about to molt or just after they molt. You might want to check your water though. You have a relatively new tank with a medium bioload.

i checked it yesterday and everything was fine. i cant even find any remains of them if they have died though. im sure id find them if they were hiding cos its only a small tank. what else may have happened please?
