That is only if they are feeding near the surface, if they don't they would dart into the rock. In an aquarium food comes in near the surface, fish know this. There is an article on this behavior difference in a Coral magazine.
Still it may not be true. Super7

Do you know what month? I'll look for the article.
For now I'm going to stand by my opinion that the amount feeding has nothing to do with them jumping. Sorry if it feels like I'm splitting hairs, thing is, I just don't feel that the solution for prevention of jumping is "feed them more." They dart as a means to get away when startled, in an aquarium there's nowhere to dart, so they end up breaching the surface. Although .. I guess it could be that they are at worse risk for jumping if not fed enough, because they're hungrier, but I promise even if well fed there is a strong risk for jumping. The mitigation strategy should be to make sure they can't land outside water "when" they jump (ie, a well covered tank).

it is either the one concernig the breeding of coral in captivity or deep sand beds. Doesn't help much but that is all I can remember about the mag.
They can't jump out in my tank though since the hood won't allow them to. Super7

Sorry to hear that man. I had a pair for a while and one day when I was on vacation the tanksitter forgot to close the canopy lid one night after feeding. Both of them jumped out that night, he came back in the morning to find the both of them on the floor.
 I swear bluesides are the worst - 100% of the ones I've known so far (mine and any friends who've had them) all met their end to jumping.

There is a slim chance that he's just hiding somewhere, but I highly doubt it. He's been missing since early last night and he never misses a meal. I figure the cat got him, but I haven't given up hope yet.

 Today when I came home from work, there he was swimming around like he'd never been missing. He looks absolutely fine. Little bugger had been hiding somewhere for 5 days. I had even looked in his favourite sleeping spot after lights out. I don't know what that was all about? There is no aggression in this tank at all. Go figure!
