I had a pair of these guys. Lost both of them one night when the tank canopy was accidentally left open overnight. Both jumped out that night.

Of the 3 or 4 fairy wrasse species I've kept, these were the most prone to jumping. They were constantly jumping into the overflow (and constantly jumping out of the overflow back into the main tank). My advice for anyone considering these or other fairy wrasse species, be sure to have a cover on your tank. If nothing else, eggcrate covering the tank that can be moved or opened for feeding and maintenance. Otherwise, it's not a question of "if" it will jump out, it's a question of "when".
