I have a fireball angel that is swimming funny. Usually he is bobbing around and picking at the liverock. Now most of the time he is zipping around in a straight line with his head up swimming on an angle. There are some things that have changed in the tank. I got a clean-up-crew, one of those packs for my cyano problem. Well they picked my liverock clean and it is now devoid of life instead of going after the cyano like they were supposed to. Angels love to pick at things. Well now my angel has nothing to pick on so he must be going nuts. Another thing that was different for a few days was I switched powerheads. I went from my mp10 to a tunze 6095 and the tunze just blasted the tank. Too much flow but can be turned down once I get it connected to my controller. Well the flow may have tired out this little fish. Anyway and he's looking very thin too. Any ideas why he might be swimming this way?

For tank specs see my build thread in the link below.
