Clownfish tail

Hey peeps, I need a little help here. I woke up this morning and went and took a look at my tank like I usually do, and I saw something weird on my clownfish. I looks like his tail got bitten off, all she has is a nub there now. I only have one other clownfish in the tank along with a diamond goby. Any idea what could be going on? The tank has been up and running for about a year now, and everything has been fine up until this point.

Mods, if this post is in the wrong area, please move to the appropriate area.

Thanks!
 
So you only have three fish in the tank??? What kind of CUC do your have, any sally lightfoots, brittle stars or the such?
 
Yep, only 3 fish. CUC is a few snails and a couple of hermit crabs. At first, I thought the affected fish was the male, so I figured the 2 clowns got in a fight and the little guy took a beating, but after looking closer, it was in fact the female that has the issue.

The fish are almost 2 years old, and have never had any problems. All my corals, which consist of a few zoa colonies, 7 head Aussie Duncan, and a few ricordia, are all doing fine, so I dont think it's a parameter issue.
