Thanks for checking. Its doing well. it stopped playing in the powerhead and now just picks on rocks all day.

So good to hear. I have an 'ocean' fish (a Yellow Fusiler--- LFS confused it with a Fuslier DAMSEL and told me it would stay small. Ha!!) that spends quite a bit of time swimming into the power head. It sounded so very much like your experience-- an 'I like to feel like I'm swimming in the ocean, actually GOING somewhere' situation... but it always makes one worry about Flukes or Marine Velvet, right?

it really does. It sounds so much like velvet behavior. I did give him and the rest of the tank metroplex bound with focus in food.. That might have caused the change, but who knows.
