Thanks for looking, will take a closer look later when the lights are on, i don't think it has a forked tail...
 
hhmmm ok about how long was it attached for? they are suppose to drop off and die once they have laid their eggs, but that takes quite a while.
 
Do a large water change giving the gravel a really good vaccing, How bad does the wound look? if it is very red and inflamed it would be worth treating with an antibacterial medication. 
 
There is a good list here of medications that should help.
