If he keeps floating to the top it sounds like swim bladder.
I dont know if salt water fish can get this kind of problem but fresh water fish can.
Peas seems to cure this problem.

I had the same problem with a maroon clown. It sounds like during the aclimation time it got too much air in the swimming bladder. I actually witnessed the frantic swimming down then all of a sudden a large air bubble came from the fish and everything was fine. Clam and normal swimming
