Sudden Death of Clownfish

[Devin Lange]

One of the two Clownfish I've owned suddenly died with no warning. All the other fish are fine, water is fine, was eating, no signs of infection or disease. What sucks is that this Clownfish was designer and paired. I've had it for 4 months before it died too. Tankmates are a longnose hawk, bluespotted puffer, and a golden dwarf moray. Only thing I can think of is that it was sometimes picked on by the other clownfish and the puffer would sometimes nip at it's fins. Should I be concerned for the other fish? Get another clownfish?

Do you think it may have ended up as moray food?

The eels are generally peaceful and won’t attack clowns

Disposed of it this morning but most of it's fin was rotted off. We didn't catch him until a day later because we always assumed he was okay.
