Why is my Royal gramma swimming sideways?

I just got all my fish for my 40 gallon yesterday and they are all doing great! Except my royal gramma keeps swimming sideways. Is this something I should be worried about?

Grammas are known for quirky swimming behavior. While odd swimming patterns are sometimes a sign of something wrong, it may not be the case with your gramma.
