    You have quite a few agressive fish in the small tank. I know from experience that damsels and maroon clowns are not great playmates for any fish.;)

    I had problems introducing fish to my tanks for years, until started tanking a really long time to acclimate them. I float them in the sump for temp, with a drip from the DT for at least 3hrs now.

    coral beautys are hardy as clown fish, not easy for them to die.
    But yes your tank has pretty aggresive fish, if your water, tempereture everything is fine, that would be my bet.

    the clown and damsel are very shy and i havent seen them pick on anything, could it have been the coral banded shrimp? i have a pair of those, also i believe the hawk might have played part.
