Can a Dying Anemone Poison a Tank?

I've had two anemones die in the past year from my own ignorance and not knowing they needed to be fed.

Each time a anemone would die it would seem like the whole tank would suffer. I read that when anemone's die they slowly wither away while releasing toxins into the tank that can kill livestock. The last time my anemone died it seemed like everyhing died in the tank. All my corals died and I was wondering if the anemone was to blame? My tank parameters at the time were fine and this was about two or three months ago.

Could my anemone have poisoned my tank as it died?

Thanks everyone in advance!
