Upside Down Royal Gramma

I've seen some strange stuff over the years, but nothing like this:
A month ago I purchased a small Royal Gramma. I noticed he looked sort of strange, but upon looking closer I see that he is swimming upside down. I don't mean once in a while, I mean every waking minute he is upside down. He swims without any problems, eats like crazy and zips in and out of my live rock. I have never seen him right side up since the day he went into the tank.
Any ideas what is going on? Have any of you ever had something like this???

Wow, Do you have any pictures. To me it sounds like he is doing fine. As long as he is eating healthy and seems to be great then I wouldnt think anything is wrong. Thats just amazing and a one of a kind fish!

I just purchased one recently also and he hangs upside down in the corner of my tank beside a power head and shoots out once in a while to get some food!

I'll try to get a good picture of this funny guy. I am happy as ever that he is doing so well. Now all I need it to come up with a good name for him.
What would you call an upside down Royal Gramma???
Hmmm....
