Sorry to hear - often times, we try to diagnose between "this disease or that". In some cases though it is actually "these diseases or those". In this case, I was focused on the clownfish mucus, but there evidently was an underlying gill disease. Multiple problems at the same time make remote diagnosis very difficult, and treatment almost impossible.
Working back through this thread - since the fish were in hypo, ich and flukes can be ruled out. I think Brooklynella was ruled out. That leaves the clownfish mucus plugs and a gill disease, most likely Amyloodinium/Velvet. The only outlier is the engineer gobies - they are tough, but I didn't think they are resistant to velvet.
