What could be happening to my Tangs fins?

I have a yellow and a sail fin and recently I've noticed what looks like bite marks out of their dorsal fins. It doesn't look like any kind of rot but I can't be sure.
My other live stock includes:
False Perc Clowns
Banngai Cardinals
Fox face
Blond Naso
2 cleaner shrimp
various snails
What do you think could be happening?

Just regular cleaner shrimp. It could be the clowns as they have started breeding and could be getting territorial. Any other ideas?
