I have not seen mine doing and doesn’t seem to be normal behavior. Anything new in the tank or have you done any treatments lately?

Has the sand bed been stirred up at all? Typical when things are going to the surface that shouldn’t be it means they are low on oxygen.

That does seem odd - do you have a goby for him? They are usually quite blind
