A few weeks ago while tinkering with the tank I was leaning over the top and reaching in when all of a sudden I heard a quick flutter of a fish flying out of the water followed by a smack to my left temple. Then back into the water it went. I never figured out which one it was. I figured one of them was upset about what he got to eat earlier and was getting back at me.
Well, earlier today after work I was on the cordless phone with a family member and just happened to get on the step stool that was sitting on the back-side of the tank. While talking I peered down from the top of the tank closely looking at an admired
SPS frag. Then out of the blue (pun intended) a flash of orange flew up through the water and smacked me right in the nose. I jumped backward off the stool yelling "WTF!, oh man!" and began looking all around the top of the tank and floor to make sure the fish didn't jump out. I saw the fish in the tank hiding next to a corner rock looking a little stressed from the ordeal. It was one of my Anthias! I forgot about being on the phone and could hear the family member calling my name over and over. When I answered back they asked if I almost got into a wreck or something. I told them you called me at home how could I be getting into a wreck in my house! LOL Anyway, I told them what just happened. Afterward, I cut some egg-crate to cover the two openings, but noticed that is reduced the MH lighting. I really don't want to have the lighting noticeably cut back. - Thought I'd share the funny experience though!
