    may have been nipping on those zoanthids i see in the pics....but its really hard to know without being in your house to know whats going on...if you've seen thew fish nip corals, than that probably caused it...if you dont EVER see the fish nip the corals than its probably an infection...best of luck...u may want to get some melafix, and treat it....
