It's really hard to say why, but I'd keep a close eye on them for a few days. If he goes after another one, I'd put him in the sump or fuge.
You'll use fresh-mixed saltwater made with RO/DI. When you say "15 - 30", is that gallons or percentage of tank capacity? Some start with 10%...
Congratulations! FWIW, that's how BTAs multiply in the wild... It's not always from stress. :)
