    I don't really care if I don't see him, and I really like the fish, I'm just worried about him jumping.

    Not a happy ending. As I said a few weeks ago, he was unbelievably skittish. He never really settled in. A few days ago he disappeared, and today I found him on the floor behind the tank. From what I can tell, he never touched aiptasia or majano.

    Thanks. The LFS said that they weren't known jumpers, so I'm wondering if they were wrong or if this was just a strange one. I know they are shy fish, so it wasn't shocking that he never really settled in. I can't actually say for sure whether or not he touched any anemones because he wasn't here long enough to really make a dent in them.

    I said this even before yours jumped. They are definitely jumpers.
