Anemones Poisening?

I had a few mystery fish deaths in my tank recently, two mated maroon clowns, and one coral beauty. My levels are all very good, and the fish male didn't show any signs of weakness, woke up the next morning and there he was was. The female, and the coral beauty, where very reclusive, not really coming out of hiding. All of the fish were less than a week old.

With that said, I own a Bubble tip anemone which also died, and may have been in the tank for up to two days. It was a pretty rough week for the tank, but still the levels have remained consistent. I was talking with a buddy of mine, and he mentioned that he stays away from anemones because when they start to die they release poisenous toxins into the water, which can intern kill other livestock, does that hold any merit?. Before introducing the clowns, and the angel, I had two 3 strip damsels, one kole tang, which have all remained healthy.

Any suggestions?
