Lubbock's wrasse's tail gone. Help!

[Amanda rempfer]

I have a standard 55 gal reef with a platinum and two ocellaris clowns, a lawnmower, a diamond goby, a Lubbock's wrasse, and a sailfin tang. There has been no apparent aggression even when the lights go out. After work today, I fed them and noticed that the lubbocks wrasse was missing. I spent about an hour looking for her. Finally, I looked over and she reappeared, but her tail is pretty much nonexistent. I'm sad, and I can't figure out what did it Any suggestions or comments?

Clean cuts (fish biting off) or all white at the edges (fin rot, bacterial infection) like its deteriorating?

It's bacterial. Getting into a hospital tank and treating with an antibiotic can help. Post in the disease forum to get more specific help.
