I guess the fish was startled by something and jumped out or maybe just tried to catch something on the surface and jumped out.

Twice I had clownfish introduced to each other and there was the dominance fighting but it was never so bad that one jumped out and they were in a 20 gallons only.

Usually one stay on a corner at the surface and the other one leave it alone.

Where they fighting a lot?
They didn't fight at all that i saw, the female stayed by her frogspawn, the clown in the button. The fed together no problem each taking food to its host, if they were swimming about they didn't bother each other.

They were bought from the same tank and went in mine together and were transferred together into the bigger tank. Not sure what happened after the move.

I guess sometimes they just jump.

I generally add garlic to their food every 2 batches I mix up, selcon all the time. Will keep doing so. I just checked and her eye looks normal again, hopefully it was just a scratch.
