I want to order either a Radiant or Leopard but have an open top over my 90 reef. I had a sixline for years without problems. Anyone having success?

ive had a few six lines jump in the past, but my leopard wrasse has been fine.

I lost a yellow wrasse and a 4 line to jumping but I think they were both being chased by an aggressive fish in the tank.

I no longer have the aggressive fish and would like to add a wrasse again. I'll tag along for the ride...

I've been hoping my lunar wrasse would jump for the past year so I could catch it but no luck! Had a sixline jump a few years ago.

Snorvich is right however a leopard wrasse is more likely to dive into the sand than jump when frightened.
