Default What happened to my fish?
Today I noticed that our Royal Gramma appears to have a chunk torn from her (we call her Emma) tail fin. She had no marks before today. Ours is a nano reef so not many possible culprits. What might have caused it? Oscellaris clown, cleaner shrimp, hermit, power head intake, sickness? Any thoughts?

TIA.

Just as a consolation, when I first got my RG, it also managed to get a torn tail. I never figured out who did it. It has grown back, and never happened again.

I had one a few years ago that had a torn tail twice. The problem was that his hiding spot in the live rock had a small snag in the hole. So even though it loved this little cave it would sometimes snag itself when dashing in and out really fast.

There's 2 and they're just regular skunk cleaners. Someone mentioned that a worm hidden in the rockwork might be responsible.
