Weirder clownfish behavior than normal

Hi everyone, just joined this site a little while ago and have my first question.

My 75 gallon fish only finished cycling about two weeks ago and I added a small black and white ocellaris clownfish last Sunday. For the first five or so days it acted like most clownfish do, bobbing around, exploring, and eating well.

However it seems to have stopped eating well. It'll eat one pellet and then spit anything else after that. It'll eat one pellet again in a few hours and then repeat.

Also now it's swimming quite quickly along the length of the tank... Not quite sure what's going on, is it okay? It's about 2 inches long. Thanks!
