Neither would be the reason for your losses.
Do you have a deep sandbed? I would go through this check list
testing water
flow
lighting
preditors (fish crabs)
Chemical warfare

I can only imagine that the frogspawn might not have been happy so low in your tank. Theytend to like moderate light as well as moderate flow, which at the sandbed level might not be happening.

Now as for the chalice, those things tend to be pickier than women. Chalk that loss up to dumb luck.

I hardly doubt your starfish or conch are the causes.
