Small GBTA killing fish?

I added 2 GBTA the size of quarters yesterday. My tomato clown is already hosting one. Anemones scare me. I just found my 3" convict tang on his side on the sandbed. Is it likely he could have been stung? I do see a very tiny area of fin rot Ive never seen before but it could have gotten nibbled on while sick. I'm about to check my parameters but as of 2 days ago, they were all great. Can I rule out the anemones?
 
hmm, I would not think it could sting him to death and not still be attached and possibly eating it. He could have been picked on as my Starry Blenny will be the first to jump on a dead fish. I'm not an expert, but I do see my wrasse stealing food from the GBT and making a clean getaway. So now I stand and cover until it has eaten. Interesting , i'll keep watching.
 
Btas do not possess a poweful enough sting to kill a healthy fish. The bta is likely not the culprit. Look at other possibilities.
