    Dragonets jumped out

    I was just doing some maintenance on my tank and my poor dragonet decided to jump out of the tank. I’m not sure how long he was out but it couldn’t have been more than 5 mins. He darted into the rock work once I got him back in. Is there anything I can do to help him survive?
