Wrasses are very persistent at wanting to jump out, it's worth the extra effort to make sure they can't do it.. IMO

In my old 54g I had a whack load of egg crating set up for holding frags and my adult Red Corris (About 5 inches long by atleast an inch dorsal to ventral) would regularly swim right through it. Of course he would swim right through it to knock all my frags over but that's a different story.
My yellow has been a model citizen for his whole duration in the tank, he never fights and is constantly on the hunt. Great fish to keep for sure!
