I'm hoping someone can help me identify if something's wrong with my Tomini Tang or if it's recent actions are nothing to worry about.

Yesterday I noticed that she was swimming frantically at times as well as swimming sideways. Today I've noticed the same but she's also now acting very aggressive towards other tank mates she normally swims with.

She is the most aggressive and largest fish in the tank at roughly 3 inches. She is eating regularly from the seaweed I place in the tank along with regular feedings and is constantly nipping at the rocks. She has no signs of ich, no lessions, hasn't lost any color and looks fine other than what I've described above. I did however, notice a white spot/bump above her eye a couple of weeks ago which healed and disappeared within the next couple of days.

Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations? Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Post video on youtube and then use URL. Video would be best since you have a behavioral question.
