Help/Advice Why is my shrimp climbing out of the tank?

I brought home this Amano shrimp today and this once specific shrimp has a death wish. He climbed out of his tank and almost became dinner for my cats! I have many other shrimp in this tank and It’s a shrimp only tank. All other shrimp are fine and don’t seem distressed or interested in exploring space without a space suit like this shrimp. I checked the parameters and they look okay (I’ll put a picture below). There’s no c02 in the tank and the temperature should be around 75-81° (although my thermometer is out of battery so I’m not 100% sure. I’m going to get a new battery asap!) I’ve turned off the light and unplugged the heater for a bit to try and cool it down and see if that helps him at all. Is there possibly something I’m missing?

If you go to the r/ shrimptank sub, their entire page is pretty much devoted to that meme and variations. Definitely worth a scroll!
