Hello,
Tank is about two months old now, 12g nano, live sand live rock, anyway I decided to move the sand bed around, as it was brown from diatoms. The next day my clownfish died.
I have 2 turbo snails, one cb shrimp, 1 blue damsel, they all seem fine.
So, the lesson learned is, its not a good idea to disturb the sand bed.

What are the water parameters now? You probably caused an ammonia spike by stirring the sandbed. :D
