2 Blue/Green chromis

Recently I've noticed that one of my chromis has been losing scales. I'll look at the tank at night with a flashlight and see the missing scales on the chromis. I noticed this about a week ago and since then he/she has lost a few more but not a lot. I have seen the 2 chromis go at it in short bursts but not actually beating each other up.
The chromis does sleep in a little hole in my rockwork so could the missing scales be due to him accidentally rubbing against the rock while "sleeping"?
 
Notice any redness or white spots on the fish?
 
I'd like to see the best pictures you can get also. I doubt it losing scales from bumping into the rocks at night. I wouldn't worry too much at this point, but pictures always help :)
