Lawnmower Blenny a jumper?
 
Are lawnmower blennys prone to jumping? Poor thing, I had him for a few years, and he thought living outside the tank, would be a better idea. Darn.

I don't think mines ever bin to the surface let alone jump. Could it have been chased

Yup they jump. My diamond spotted watchamn goby jumped out of the tank the first day I got him. My 5 yr old daughter grabbed him and threw him back in.

I've had an LB jump as well, although I suspect he may have been helped along by a Mama Maroon clownfish that sometimes made a run at him if he got too close to the pair's territory. I enjoy having these guys, but gave up after the third one stopped eating & starved. First one fell victim to a powerhead. No 2 was the carpet surfer.

I had a diamond gobie go for a ride down the overflow but ended up in a spot that it would have requires him to jump over sump baffles

I too have had a Red lip who tried to carpet surf his way in to a fresh water guppy tank but i think he was tired of the taste of salt water.
