How much did you feed them, if you did feed them? What are your parameters? Did they eat any fish? What kind of lights? What do you mean by "they all started dying"? Are some dead already? What happened to them? How deep if your sand? How long is the tank lit? What is the temperature in the morning and evening.
they all died; had 2 sets of power compacts and one stopped working for 2 days , replaced it with 4 T5 bulbs and left one set of the power compacts running ; the yellow released and floated to the back and later died , then the big green started going inside out ,then the small blue started turning inside out , then lastly the big blue went inside out ; sand is about 3 to 4 inches , 65 gallon tank . The first 2 on the left were in the tank first and doing great eating whole krill shrimp every other day , the other 2 never took the shrimp. Lights are on from 1 to 8 , sometimes an extra hour. Temperature was at 80 degrees when i first put the t5's , put 2 fans and got it down to 74-76 degrees.

How long has the tank been set up?
What are your current water parameters? ( with numbers )
Suggest not buying 4 at once, too much can go wrong. Making sure one makes it past 2 months (( most of the time after 2 months you are out of the woods )), is hard enough, trying it with four is just asking for trouble.

nitrate levels are one of the most important thigns when keeping anenomes.high levels cause anenome death. also the first one that died could have released toxins in the tank that could have affected the other carpets.
Tank was up for almost 2 years ; then moved keeping a little less than half the water; put the carpets in about 2 months after re establishing. Not sure if it was the light being out for a couple of days or if it was the new T5's caused them to start stressing . The big green was the first to start stressing , then all the others started stressing at the same time.

From his/her other thread, there are 4, 2 "platinums" and 2 "midnights", along with (( at least from the pics )) a yellow tang and a flame angel.
