Does your Clown Bite you?

[SurfnFish]

Everytime I put my hand in the water (as minimal as possible), my female clown goes after me, and get's a little nibble. It doesn't hurt, but always freaks me out. Does this happen to anyone else? All my other fish seem scared of my hand, including my male clown.

[Rewd]

No biting but my two Occ clowns will eat right out of my hand.

[Mackelshak]

It always happens when I come too close to their anemone. The female always attacks my hand when I move it too fast. It's a normal behavoir.

[barjam]

Yes. My year old false perc can sometimes draw blood.

[kar93]

yes whenever i put my hand in the tank they each grab a hair and pull it

[uncleant]

my percula clown goes after my hand when i get to close to its "corner of the tank" lol and so does my blue damsil

[mander]

I keep waiting for a bite but my guys never do, not even when I'm near their leather. The only things that come after me are the cleaner shrimp.

[yellowwatchmen]

I dont have any clowns but my friend does and they will nibble at your fingers. If I put a finger in the tank they will go right up to it and start nibbling.

Every chance she gets .................

My Clowns will come over and just nibble but tha blue Damsel will just scare me every time when I am concentrating on moving something ortrying to pick up a frag it will attack and I do mesn attack with a vengence I am never ready and when I go after him he stands his ground till I get close then he runs and comes from another direction several times.

I had one clown that would definitely take runs and nips at my hand.

[rickh]

I have a biter

[Crackerballer]

Yea my big clown bites, and its pretty hard.

[Zestay]

just train them not to bite... just like training a cat.. get a squirt bottle and keep it near the tank............... ..... oh ... wait...

[bhdmc]

My tomato clown always attack my hand everytime I had it in the tank.

[Engine 7]

My maroon does everytime I put a hand in the tank.

[Mojo Jojo]

my female clown goes after me, and get's a little nibble.

Ditto! That evil little perc

[Coderabit2]

My maroon was so mean I was going to give it away. My wife just couldn't do it for some reason and turned her 26 gallon fw into salt

[Whisperer]

My perc does not bite me. It's my red lip blennie. Feels like sand paper. And today, my royal gramma decides to defend his rock (he sleeps inside the cave). He bit me twice this morning while I was removing hair algae on that rock.

[TWallace]

My male percula clown has bitten me a couple times in the past, but not recently. He was defending his anemone. Interestingly, the female has never bitten me. I thought it was usually the females that get aggressive.

[kmjoen230]

Yea my male gets fiesty!
He nips everytime I'm in there moving or adding stuff.
Just one though!
He never persists, which I think is so funny!

[Aliie]

My female has a serious attitude and she bites repeatedly. You'll get use to it after a while.

[tgfrench]

I have a false perc and a maroon the false perc is the worst but both bite me at will. the false perc will travel the length of the 90 to take a nip.

My male clarkii tries to every time I put my hand in the tank. I chase him away with the big forceps I use to move stuff.
