I was planning on picking up the Tomini Tang today, but with what happened with the YWG, are the Tangs, specifically the Tomini, jumpers?

No.
Never had one jump
Never had an angel jump either.

Never had a tang jump, but looked back at one of my fish stocking spreadsheets and remembered this guy (no idea why I keep spreadsheets for everything):

That tank was covered with acrylic lids and a canopy that just had finger holes in the lid to remove it and that goby and the Orange Stripe I replaced it with found those holes and jumped, only 2 losses from jumping that I have recorded.
I miss that tank.

 

[smitten with ocean life]

wow! that is a nice tank! what happened to it?

We moved and sold it, really wish I had just put it in storage. It was an upgrade from a 155g bowfront (never get a tank with a curve) and ran from 2011 to 2015. A dealer bought all the livestock and we had to break a bunch of coral apart to fit through the access holes in the top.
Can see the cyano before the tear down, it had been neglected a bit since we were in the middle of the move.

Was it swollen up on the end like this when you pulled it out? I ask because I'm not familiar with a worm that has such a drastically different end like this, but the rounded head like that tells me it's either a Lumbrinerid or Oenonid worm - either way, you probably don't want to keep it:
For Oenonid worms:

these worms tend to feed on mollusks (bivalves - clams, oysters, mussels, etc. - and snails)

For Lumbrinerid worms:

"most lumbrinerids are carnivores on both sessile and motile prey, with a few herbivorous and subsurface deposit-feeding exceptions"*

The carnivorous ones tend to eat things like bivalves, snails, other worms, brittle starfish, and occasionally Heart Urchins (Spatangoida). The herbivorous ones feed on diatoms, sea grass, etc.

Diet of Worms Emended: An Update of Polychaete Feeding Guilds | Annual Reviews

Polychaetes are common in most marine habitats and dominate many infaunal communities. Functional guild classification based on taxonomic identity and morphology has linked community structure to ecological function. The functional guilds now include osmotrophic siboglinids as well as...

And too many of this one

These ones are keepers - they're either Spaghetti or Hair worms:

Looks like either a hair worm (Cirratulidae) or a spaghetti worm (Terebellidae) to me - if the tentacles all come out from a single point, it’s a spaghetti worm; if they come out from basically all over the body it’s a hair worm.
