I forgot to put the screen top back on my tank after I finish cleaning all the salt creep around my tank yesterday morning. I went to hospital right after that because my buddy's father is having a major surgery. After that I went home around 11 pm with this view in my room.

The labouti wrasse decided to do bungee jumping....:rip::rip::pout::pout::Cry::Cry::Cry:
I was so sad, more sad than when I broke up with my ex gf......The good thing is the flame wrasse is fine and almost gave me another heart attack because I thought it was dead but I can't find the body, since I'm a paralegal I always put in my head about there is no murder unless the body is found. I found the flame wrasse this morning in the overflowbox.

I hope my lost will be a good lesson for everyone in here to not forget to put back the screen top on your tank, especially if you have nice and expensive fish....

Sorry to hear about your wrasse. May he rest in peace. I had a cover on my tank but apparently not well enough cause I lost my blue spotted jawfish as well. DARN IT! Still frustrated about that. But at least your flame wrasse is still alive. :D

Wasn't that your brand new fish you got the other day?? Sucks when a fish jumps out. I lost an anthias last week from the same.

Fish would jump out even if tank top is only open for a second. I learned my lesson never take a chance.
