Foxface Strange Behavior

[dru]

Hello everyone. I recently added a small foxface to my tank, and he has been swimming strangely as if he's off balance. A video of this is attached. He has been in my main tank for nearly three weeks now, eats normally (seaweed too), and doesn't appear to be stressed, so I'm not sure what the problem might be thats causing him to swim this way. Does anyone have any knowledge on what might be going on here/how it can be addressed? Thank you for any feedback.

I don't see a video, but fox face do swim different than most marine fish. I can't see your full tank, but if the whole tanks aqua scape looks like that there's not enough hiding places for your fox face

I will try to post the video again later from my computer. Basically the foxface always tilts himself at a weird upward angle, but is fine otherwise. It is true that not enough hiding places could cause this? My tank has a bunch of caves, but my engineer gobies are always there so the other fish usually just hide behind the rocks when they want to.
