Anyone see anything wrong?

[Notsolostfish]

Iv had my pink diamond goby for 3 years and lately he stopped eating, and found it dead this morning.

I tested my tanks water like i usually do and i cant find anything. There was a big aiptasia where he chills. Could it be possibly it got stung? Not sure

I doubt a fish would let himself get actually stung to death by an anemone. That's like holding your hand in a fire until your whole body goes up in flames. The pain will make sure you get your hand out before it's too late.
Even if it got stung I doubt the sting was lethal and I would expect to see swelling of the skin or a discoloration or something at all on the fish.

Regarding malnutrition or potential diseases one of the fishmedics has to chime in...

Hard to tell especially after a fish has perished. Anything would be an educated guess at this point . An aptasia sting is likely Not possible

How long ago did it stop eating?

Depending on how old it was when you acquired it, this may just be "old age". Some gobies only live three years, but this species lives longer.

An ICP isn't going to tell you anything - any issues that would kill a fish outright would be SO bad that all your invertebrates would be showing issues before that.....

I've had two random fish deaths over the last year. Nothing at all out of the ordinary was observered beforehand.

I suspect my mantis shrimp is the cause. I need to catch that sucker...

The lifespan of the fish is not that high. It could be old age - if there are no problems that are systemic (i.e. fish dying in the same way - I'm not sure your report of deaths over the year meets that criteria). I would be careful watching your current fish for issues
