Ther're all happy and healthy during the day until the lights turn off, then dead the next day. It's happened a number of times now and I know it's not an unhealthy or improperly acclimated fish (they all eat). So who's killing them (worms or clown)?

The angel fish probably reacted to something toxic in the water. I had a problem with what was supposed to be a salt-water safe aquarium decoration. At night, whatever fish slept near it ended up dying. I lost a pair of dartfish, and a dragonet before I figured it out. You may have a piece of live rock with something toxic embedded in it or possibly a large live rock hitchhiker (mantis shrimp etc) that is killing them. A bad piece of rock makes the most sense as your clown fish probably hides in the same spot every night to sleep and it is a safe area for it there, but not where your angelfish chose to sleep. The fish I had that died were very pale and lost the membranes around their fins when I removed them.

If you are sure about the acclimation and your water parameters, more than likely, it's the Clown killing your angels. Are they Flame angels? Clowns can be quite nasty when they want to be. The bristleworm will not hurt your fish.
