Default Sixline Wrasse - Jumpers?

I didn't think the sixline wrasse was a jumper, but I came home today after work only to find him on the ground, dried and crispy.

She was doing fine yesterday, eating, and swimming around. I recently put in two Hydor Koralia 1s, could this have been the problem?

Anyone have any experiences with wrasses jumping out of their tanks?

What do you have in the tank as tank mates...anything that may stress your Six Line?
I didn't think that wrasses were that much of a threat of jumping out of a tank, but anything is possible!
Sorry to hear that!
