That is a bummer!!!! Maybe you can put some egg crate along the back 6" or so of your tank, this way you can still have easy access in the tank, but the fish wouldn't be able to jump out.

Some fish are as addicted to carpet surfing as we are to keepin' marine aquariums. Sadly the two hobbys don't mix well.

the fish u mean that jumped out would be refered to as a purple tang.

I think he was refering to the yellow tail blenny if I'm not mistaken.

its an anthias of some sort.

I think you're all missing it, it's the slender one with the yellow tail on the upper left hand side.

The one that is circled is definitely a tilefish.

Definately a tilefish, very beautiful fish. I've only seen one beautiful purple one at a LFS, too bad it was 70 bux

otherwise she'd be mine.
