You're going to have to remove them to QT and treat them there. You can't treat in the display tank. The display needs to remain fishless for at least six weeks to kill off any remaining parasites.

if you only have 2 clowns then a 20g would be fine for QT.

And go to the Fish Disease forum. We have some helpful stickies in there, that will outline how to diagnose, and how to treat.
