watchman goby - infection?

Recovering Detritophobe
Hello,

Noticed something wrong with my watchman goby today. The tank is well established, but it was moved 1 building over about a month ago. I've had the watchman for about 5 years.

I noticed a pale spot one on side about halfway down his body - but was really surprised to see his tail when he came all the way out. It is red and missing tissue, looks to be decaying from the top down.

Should I try to remove him and treat in QT, or simply keep up water quality and let it run it's course? Problem is, I can't think of anything that would have caused this, the tank is overall healthy... I guess maybe he was injured/stressed form the move?
