Mated pair for years, now the male is attacking the female

Strange question... Mated pair of clowns, together for years in the same tank, same nems, lay eggs on a regular basis.

Out of nowhere, the male is attacking the female, and by attacking, I mean he has taken a bite out of her tail, aggressively chases her around the tank, and when he can, keeps her subdued under the nems.

Just a few minutes ago, they both are submitting to each other... makes absolutely no sense.

I have had clowns in the past, paired, laying eggs, etc, but have never seen this happen

Also, they never leave their nems, except for feeding. Tonight, they are all over the tank, back and forth to the nems
