Some fish are more prone to jumping than others (fairy wrasses are pretty bad as it turns out), but *any* fish can jump, so definitely put a lid on that tank.

I lost a fairy wrasse to jumping too. It managed to find the 1/2" gap between the two panels of eggcrate and ended up lying on top. It was very dried up when I found it the MHs made sure of that. So if you put the egg crate on, don't leave any gaps either.
