Is my Firefish a goner?

Yesterday I was cleaning my tank and my Firefish decided to jump out of the tank. I got him in the tank pretty quick and now he has been just hanging out there and not moving much. Is he a goner?

He may make a comeback if you got him in quickly. Could still be PTSD he has to get over.

How long was he out of the tank?
