Blonde Naso question

[Reefer508]

I just added a medium blonde naso to my 250 and seems happy, already picking at the rock, cruising in and out of rock work.
Question I have is are they prone to jump? I have an open top but can make a screen top.
Thanks for any input,
Happy Reefing

I've had mine for 2 years with an open top. No issues. Tangs seem to understand that getting too close is suicide. Clowns and gobys are another story.

I didn't think they would be jumpers. First one I've had so thought I'd ask. He was in an open top tank and others I've seen were also in open top tanks. Thanks for the info.

If it can happen it will. The only fact here is with no cover the fish can jump. With a cover they can't. Why even risk it?

The answer is you just don’t know. Definitely possible though, sometimes mine splashes as he’s cruising top of tank at high speed. I have a screen top.
