Goby jumpers vs. Euro-bracing

Will euro-bracing defeat most goby jumpers? Or do I still need to add netting over the tank?

The only way to stop jumpers is w/ netting or some kind of cover, and even then some can still be a challenge.
I lost a pair of helfrichi's that somehow got through 1/4" bird netting, both the same night, but at least it will block most, most of the time.

Egg crate does not prevent jumping nor does Eurobracing.
