anyone know of any fish that are well known for jumping out of a tank? what about shrimps/crabs that like to climb out?

I had a percula clown jump out of my tank. And I had a pseudochromis almost make it out. If you have a reef ready tank, snails, cukes, and nudibrances can get into your overflow.

Any type of wrasse is a high risk (definitely want a cover on the tank), these fish love to jump and at some of the prices, that's a lot of cash on the floor!!

wrasses and jawfish. I have a glass conopy and they still managed to get into the overflows. I have since fish proofed those as well. My lunare wrasse has carpet surfed 3 times with the lid open for feeding or cleaning. Fortunately i was home all 3 times and put him back in.
