Default disappear and dead! PLEASE HELP

Please help, So far after my restock I have lost or found dead 3 peppermint shrimp, 1 coral banded shrimp, a coral beauty and 3 emerald crabs. before my move I had a fireworm infestation which when I moved I soaked the rock in high solidity water for over a week and changed my bedding which killed hundreds of them. so far my new coral is looking great and the water tests fine. I haven't seen a fireworm yet and the fish (except the dead one) are looking great. The coral beauty had a chunk about the size of a dime ripped from his belly and lived 3 days like that. the rest just have disappeared or been found dead! does anyone have any ideas what can be killing off my stock:???
oh yeah I have these worms in the tank which are round and seem to scrap the rock at night but do not seem aggressive and the tank is stocked with 4 clown fish, one tang, one blenny, some small different type crabs, snails, one arrow crab, one emerald crab, and 3 peppermint shrimp. my corals are Green Star Polyps, Green Finger Coral, Mushroom coral, Pulsating Xenia, Ricordea, and a bunch of different botton polyps.

Thanks Ty~

Um, yeah. I'm confused. Got a picture?

Can you expand on the following: 1) restock; 2) high solidity water; and 3) changing the bedding? Also, what are your parameters (salinity, temp, ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, calcium, phophates, etc. etc. )?

tyler,
When I saw arrow crab in your list of livestock, I became very suspicious... not to be trusted, has been observed to pierce fish with its sharp rostrum...
Wondering how your tank is doing by now...
