Any way to keep goby from jumping ship?

I have a 30L and had a diamond goby in there for about 3 days before he managed to escape. I would really love to have one because they do such a great job at keeping the sand clean, but it just seems like every time I get one they manage to escape. I have a hood on the tank so the only place it could get out would be the back... Is there any way I can get one and not have it jump to its death??

Get some of that eggcrate that they use for office lighting and HVAC duct openings. You can find it at Home Depot or Lowes. It's like $10 for a 4'x2' white plastic grid panel.
