If you are getting them all from the same source, it may be that your water parameters and the LFS parameters are too far off such as salinity and pH. When asked about quarantine, you stated 30 minutes, I am assuming that is the amount of time you float the bag? If so your clowns can not handle a large pH or salinity shock all at once. You might want to get a sample of the LFS water and compare all of it's parameters to your own. For a new fish to just go to a corner and die quickly sounds like a pH shock problem. And also use the drip method to acclimate.
Do all clown fish hate me?

i had trouble keeping clowns when i had just a yellow tang with them, since the yellow tang came first he had claimed it as his territory persay and killed a gold stripe maroon clown, now i have a pair of ocellaris then added a blue tang and have not had any problems
unfortunatly i had to sell my yellow tang before i could get any new fish, cause he kept killing them, not just clowns
