Bev have you tried removing the rock you believe the culprit is in, for closer observation? You may have no other choice now.

The scale loss of your fishes may be unrelated, they may simply have been getting a little rambunctious and scrapped against a rock. On the other hand, perhaps something scared them at night. I will say that I've found that when a fish is actually attacked by something, they consistently seem to loose pieces of fin, not scales, but that's my experience with a sample size of two individuals.

I'm beginning to think that the only way to be really safe is to start with base rock. Or maybe live rock that's been circulating through the hobby for several years.
