Sound a bit weird but chromis is known to kill each other until they happy. But your case sound different

My chromises killed each other before, I had a lot and now only have 2. They eat and few hours later dead. Never looked into it as I know with my previous tanks I had the same issues. A good friend lost all his and all other fish healthy and sps growing out of the tank
