hi.. my coralbeauty has been having problems lately...

about a month ago i picked up a emperor angel.. .the first couple days it took a few chunks outa my coralbeauty's tail.. however hte emperor died for no appernl reason.. all the params were checked out fine and it was eating welll.. anyways the coralbeauty slowly regrew his missing chunks.. lately he has been losing chunks out of his tail fin agian.. towards hte back and the back part of hte fin on the top.. sorry i dont konw that right vocab.. but its staritng to miss chunks of the fin.. and the fine is become thinner.. at first it hought it was water quality.. but i checked ammonia and nitrate and nitrites and it was okay.. there are only two occelaris clowns int he tank and im sure they didnt do it.. and i also have a cleaner shrimp? but i dontthink it did it too... it jsut seems liek its slowly decaying... anyone know what it could be and how to fix it? the fish is eating very well.. forumla pellets frozen foods seaweeds and omega flakes.... it also seem like his colors arent as bright.. not faded but darker.. like towards darker side of hte color spectrum.. his purple is turnig really dark etc. etc.. idunno

Sounds like it could be fin rot. Do you have a hospital tank to treat it in?

Also, you said that your ammonia, nitrite, and nitrate were "okay," but what are the specific readings?
