A while back my female Ocellaris Clownfish jumped out of the water to bit me... and landed on the carpet. I quickly piked here up and put her back in the water.
Last night she jumped out of the water to try to bit me and landed in the external overflow... got sucked up through the U-Tubes and got stuck in the drain. I had to pull the overflow off to get her out. She has cuts and tars and a torn fin... I only hope she makes it this time.
Crazy fish...

Reefnut, my female perc jumped out one night when I went down to do laundry and I turned the room lights on. After folding the laundry I thought to myself; "I wonder if that scared any of the fish?" So I went and looked and sure enough there is my perc on the carpet full of dog hair and crap, had probably been there 10 minutes or longer. I picked her up and was going to flush her when her mouth opened. So I ran to the tank and put her in the fug. She looked really bad, torn fins and crap on her. She tried to swim and kept sinking.. So its 1am I go to bed thinking I will have to pull her out and flush her in the am. Next morning she is swimming around like nothing ever happened! I took her out and put her back in the display and she is healthy as ever! Fish are tougher than I thought. Good luck with her.

Thanks fishmamma!!
feixjai, a False Percula and a Ocellaris is the same thing. False Percula is just another name for a Ocellaris.
