Red Headed Fairy Wrasse Dead? :(

I've had my wrasse in my 75 gallon reef tank for about 3 weeks. I just put in a Barlett's Anthias into my tank 3 days ago. I noticed the anthias chasing the wrasse one time. After lights out yesterday, I didn't see him until about an hour ago. He was under a rock, and my nassarius snails were eating on him. :( He was eating well and seemed fine until he disappeared. I've been feeding twice a day, so I do not know why my anthias showed aggresion to the wrasse. Do you guys think the anthias stressed him out? My parameters are very stable for the past 3 weeks...

SG 1.025
Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate around 5

Any suggestions as to what may have been the problem? I should have taken a picture, but even at death the wrasse looked very pretty and colorful.
