Try and encourage him to eat meaty foods as well as nori and put a tunze stream (or vortech) in the tank for him. Mine loves to play in the current and one of the signs that my powerheads need cleaning is when he no longer plays
Awesome video and beautiful fish!

You know that must be an Achilles "thing"...they love to play! And yes are so active. I remember seeing Brads (untamed) Achilles acting much the same way when I have been to his place. Maybe he will join in too since you and him seem to have had the greatest success on Canreef with this species.
