Royal Gramma sick?? Please help.

[hottie79]

30 gallon. 1.024 SG, 8.2 pH. 0 amm, 0 trite, 20 trates. 79 degrees F. Skimmer, filter, 40 pounds LR, 40 pounds LS.
Royal gramma, 2 clowns (nemos), Clown goby, six-line wrasse.Brittle star, cleaner shrimp, 5 peppermint shrimp, 2 small snails, 1 big snail, 2 hermit crabs, 2 emerald crabs.
The royal gramma is eating well, but he is swimming around in a strange way right now, quick darting motions with a swipe into the sand and into the live rock, almost like he is trying to itch, if that makes sense. He started hiding a lot more lately behind the filter. I had noticed that the wrasse seems to really bother him. Now the gramma is really acting weird. I dont see any signs of ick or anything on him. Can someone please give me an idea as to whats up? I checked alkalinity and it was fine, I checked for stray voltage. it was fine... I am not sure what else to check.
Help!! :help:

Your levels look good. Im gonna guess the wrasse might be stressing him out. The gramma and the 6 line generally arent compatible. Given you have a small tank its probably a territory issue. Try moving a few rocks around to change things up and see if that does anything.
