Are my clowns killers?!?!

Is it possible for my clowns who seem to host any LPS coral and their anemone to be transferring toxins from the anemone to the other corals such as my frog spawn and torch coral? Which in turn is killing my corals.

So far I've lost all torch corals some of my frog spawn and some candy cane.

I've check all levels and they are good
Salinity- 1.022
calcium- 500
phos-0
Nitrate-0
 
i had a tomatoe clown do the same thing he also killed 2 bta and my huge branching alveopora i had for 6 years.i dont no if it is a bacterea in the fishes slime or just the rubbing of the fish that causes leasions then the coral attacked by bacteria.this clown is still alive in my fowler and is the toughest fish i have ever come accross.when my bta used to deflate to poop he used to just beat the crap out of it till it opened or died .even thought the bta was 5 times bigger then the clown.one time he was stung by a new frogspawn frag i had and he then started to bite off each node till i removed it to quarantine.i watched the whole thing.he would rip hermits right out of there shells.i will never buy a tomatoe clown again.i have had this one for 5 years now.
 
I have had my clowns :inlove: their corals and nemmy to death. It may be the clowns were to vigorous in their attentions. All others in the tank were all right. It could also be the size ratio.
 
that why i dont like bta and tomatoe clowns cause bta seem to close up fully when pooping and clowns do not like that beating them or loving them with their tail till they reopen and this must be stressfull for the anenome not releasing all poop and getting cutup when flasid.lta's dont close up fully when poooping that is why i prefer them but with lps they dont realy like clowns at all and if i dont have a nen in the tank i chose not to haVE clowns cause it becomes pricey on lps death and allmost impossible to catch crafty clown without destroying rockwork
