So, I have noticed this about 3yrs ago when I first purchased this Hippo Tang. After feeding, it will go to the bottom, looks like it picks something off the sand and shoots to the surface pokes its head out the water and this routine would go on for about 10 minutes (Almost as if the fish is in a trance). I would have to tap the aquarium to snap the fish out of it (it rush to its hiding spot), waits a few seconds and continue the process... I finally caught it on video today during the 12:30 scheduled feeding...Not sure what this is all about? Anyone else experience this or even know what the heck it is doing? (((Also, what's the best/recommended setting for record video on Samsung S21Ultra)...

Ha!
All the time, mine does surface surfing.
He also hits his tail like a beaver splashing water.
