Didn't know peppermint shrimp jump

Found one all dried up on the floor.. didn't know they can jump out of the tank

When they feel threatened, they will jump. It's most obvious when you are trying to catch them.

Ditto, I have seen cleaner shrimp do it as well.

Sure it wasn't a bánh tro?

Don't get it Jeremy ..

I didn't try to catch it. I just moved the stand/tank about 5' from it's old spot.

This would do it. Just imagine a giant picking up your house and stomping down the road about 5 miles. This, let alone the vibrations in your house and the subsequent noise, would be enough to make you feel threatened, if not totally scared to death.
