beware the flying SAE! <<

Frankly, I've never had an SAE die of anything OTHER than turning itself
into a "fish chip"... And I've several times had to pick them up off the
floor when they've launched themselves out of the tank during feeding.  Like
yours, however, they've seemed none the worse for their trip to the floor as
long as they've been returned to the water before getting too stiff ;-)
