Hi,
Today I have noticed that my beautiful spotted maroon female swims in a very weird way.
Looks like she's either stressed, sick or wants to mate... please advise.
She's even almost ignoring the pesky fireball angel, who she hates to bits.

1) Salinity is in check
2) KH, was getting low, so I have boosted it by +1.5 points, a day or two ago, probably too abruptly, but all of the other fish and nems/corals are fine. It's around 8.5 now
3) Overboosted Calcium which is now at around 500 ppm - will leave it at that. it'll naturally go down with waterchanges etc.
4) Male maroon's fine as usual.
5) Boosted (eyeballing) magnesium and iron too. Again everything else is fine.
5) she's eating ok.

When normal, she's always chasing the fireball angel away. Do you recon she could have got a sting from him?

I have attached a video for you to have a look.

PS: please excuse diatoms on the glass
