Last night one of my clowns jumped from the tank. Was a pretty good leap too, getting past the HOB filter and the refugium on the back, and with only about 3 inches between the side of the tank and the light. Unfortunately, it died, and the other looks thoroughly depressed, just hanging around under the overhang of the HOB filter.
Is there a reason this may have happened after almost 6 months? All the parameters in the tank are good. I was wondering if it may have become ill and "beached" itself (though there was no sign of deteriorating health), or if it was just random bad luck. I didn't even know these guys were jumpers....
Also, should I quickly get another Clown of the same species to try and "cheer up" the remaining one?
