Got this filefish 3 days ago and her favorite spot in tank is the surface intake of my Tidal 75... Apparently she knows I hate her doing that so she swims off when I come over. I don't think she's being sucked at the intake (well maybe) as she can swim off without trouble. I do have pretty strong current in my tank to keep algae clean, should I be worried?

They hang where they feel comfortable or where they think the best feeding post is?
