Ever had a tang stuck?

Ever had your yellow tang stuck???? Mine somehow managed to get stuck a lil' earlier today.

My yellow tang was having a good time swimming around in the tank. Not sure if he saw something, was trying a new trick or what, but somehow got himself wedged sideways underneath some live rock in a hole. The hole was there before, so the rock didn't fall on him, but there he was, on his side with one fin sort of waving around in the air. So after him I went, lifted up the live rock and he immediately sprang back to life and swam away. He seems fine, swimming the tank normally. I put some seaweed in the tank on his clip for him to munch on and he went to town on it, eating fairly quickly, so I assume he is fine.

Anyone have any ideas? Anyone ever seen anything like that before?
 
I have a trigger that does this about once a mont. He spazes when he gets over exited when eating shrimp.
 
Never seen or heard anything like it. He's never for the most part ever messed with the rocks, then out of the blue he gets stuck horizontially underneath one. good thing I noticed him right away, and he wasn't hurt. :)
 
i had a tang go into a baby food jar that was in my tank. he just wanted to see waht was in there. there was 2 frags in the jar and a big tang and he didnt wanna come out of the jar.
 
Diablitaroja had her yellow tang get stuck between the glass and a prefilter pad on a powerhead (she's got baby clowns in the tank, keeps them out of impellers!) It actually marred it up pretty well, but the tang healed in a matter of days.
