Puffer capable and any larger hermits

How long time did you dose chemicals before the death occur? Did you see the damage before the eel was dead? I think it will be impossible to figure out what´s happen. Just follow you other critters carefully the coming weeks

vibrant was dosed on Friday and just started the polyp lab medic on Sunday. I did dose straight into the tank instead of sump ? could that of caused it ? Never noticed any marks on the eel but he was more the shy one that didn't come out much.

It impossible to say anything about any cause-effect but in general I always keep in mind that if I dose a chemical - I take a risk that some of my critters can be sensitive for this chemical and when I mix some chemicals - more risk. look closely on your remaining fish for a week or two - if they act normal and eat normal - just let it be as it is. If they do not act as normal - a WC can help out. But a WC is a stress in itself in a situation like this. Without seeing your fish - it is impossible to judge the best way of handling it - I think you are the best person to judge.
