I just fed some rods food to my tank, and one of my blue green chromis, I. The first 10 seconds, started moving its mouth very fast acting very aggressive, jumping and rubbing all over a montipora. It's been only 2 minutes but I'm very concerned. Trying to get video.
 
Seems to have subsided wheb it spit out a large piece. I was affraid it was some sort of obstruction. But it looks like it cleared it.

Tye aggressive behavior was off the charts, it's not like it hasn't gone to the cleaner shrimp before he just started darting at all of the other chromises, left the other fish alone though all good now

This often happens when it takes in too big of a piece of food
 
Are they divebombing at all? Sounds kinda like how my chromis behave when they are spawning.
It was just lunging straight at coral and the other chromis like it was angry, it spit out a large chunk of shrimp after about 4 minutes and was fine.

I was wondering if this happens again in the future how long is okay to wait before capture and manual dislodge. He would have been easy to net and I was strongly considering it.
