    He might have a hell of a headache--give him a couple of aspirins. I have had fish at my LFS jump while I was cleaning--pretty long fall onto cement. Put them back and ususlly they recover after a couple of days. Probably shakin' up pretty good.

    Update on Fairy Wrasse

    He acted normal that night. He started swimming around within a few hours. Actually tonight (August 23) though I noticed he looked very pale for some reason. His head usually had more yellow to it and today it was very pale? I read it could be from lack of a female wrasse rather than diet. I feed frozen Krill, Emerals Entree, Brine, Mysis, Prime Reef 1x a day in a mix.

    Hey I'll tell what I did with my tank I cut eggcrate to fit the back half of the top of my tank. I have a 210 All Glass with three plastic separations. This will keep fish from jumping out the back end because they got spoofed or something. If they jump out the front I have to be there feeding or cleaning and they can take being out of water for a short period and most will live well. Try that if you can:)
