My Clown fish just attacked my hand.

Little bugger just started to nip at my hand when I put my hand in the tank to pick up a frag that fell over. At first he swam right to my hand so I left it there, then bam swam around my hand and attacked my knuckle. Scared the crap outt a me!

The little bastards do that sometimes but unless you're a girly man you should survive the savage attack.

LOL! That made me chuckle! No I didnt bleed. I think it was because I reached around the torch that my clowns host in! She (I think) almost let me pick her up, she was just baiting me to bite me!

I remember reading a thread about this somewhere. Someone mentioned that if Clownfish were the size of Great Whites, no one would go in the ocean!

my perc use to do that, he did it when i first got him as a baby for my 65 fowlr for 4 years then when i transfered him to my 90 reef he stoped for a while. then randomly he started to do it again, he actually drew blood to the point that i would finish cleaning my tank with cuts all over my knuckles. He would be so comfortable being near me that i could catch him with my bare hands.

It may not be a bad idea to always tell someone that you will be working on your tank in clown infested waters. Heaven forbid if you were dragged into the tank and no one knew.

LOL!!! Good point, just like going on the roof.. make sure that someone is home.. Getting dragged into my 28g would be horrible!!!!!

Better get use to it!! Just expect the bite every time you put your hand into the tank.
