Attacking Clown Fish

[Chubosco]

Does anyone have a clown fish that bites the crap out of you (doesn't hurt) when you put your hand in the tank to rearrange something? I mean this is the hand that feeds it. Is it insane or just the species? om

mine does that all the time.

The most notorious of them all is the GSM's. Green stripe maroons.

One of mine does this as well. The bite isn't enough to hurt you, the shock is what makes you hurt yourself

Green stripe maroon? Ya mean gold.

I had a clarkii that used to bite the crap out of me whenever I had to stick my hand in the tank. The clarkii got evicted last summer. Now my bicolor belnny will occasionally bite me if I've been working in the tank too long. Just did a water change and some rearranging/gluing frags, and my skunk cleaner cleaned my hand for me. Much more pleasant that a clown bite.
