Agrresive clowns????? and star fish!

[hitropics09]

So recently my clowns have became REALLY aggressive, is there a reason for this? almost everytime i go to feed my Anemone my hand gets hit several times haha. And i also found a large star fish when i was diving and was wondering if i could put it in my tank, it's the same kind a local fish store sells.
 
Thanks Ryan

How would you feel if some really really huge hand kept coming at the roof of your house? Wouldnt you be just a little bit scared? The comparison I use for my kids is this:
 
When the kids tap on the glass at the LFS and the fish scater, they laff. I ask them to stop and they usually do. Then one of them always asks,"why do they swim so fast like that?" I reply,"well, what would you do if GOD started tapping on the sun making it go out and back on? Wouldnt you run around scared?" This usually makes them stop and think before they do it again.
 
Resist the temptation of putting things found from the wild into your tank. You have no idea what bacteria, contaminates, or other carp that starfish has on it or in it.

If your anemone hosts the clowns, chances are they are probably feeding it. I NEVER stick my hands near my anemones to feed, for this reason. Try using a turkey baster and squirt the food near the anemone, the fish will realize it's for food, and get some themselves and this should cut down on their aggression towards the baster. They'll always attack your hands, mine still do, they're trained to eat from my hands, but if I go near that anemone, my hand is lunch.
 
As for the starfish, please put it back.
