Attack of the killer Clowns!!

[mr_bill]

I had my first clown attack in my tank this morning while moving a turbo snail off the glass so I could clean. She grabbed the net like a shark and went at it like a pitbull for a good 10 seconds spilling the snail out of the net and making me jerk my hand like a sissy boy. They have been building what I believe to be a nest in my tank for the last week so I think she is defending that area. I'm no expert, but it reminds me of what freshwater large mouth bass do when making a nest. They cleared a hole all the way to bare glass.
What is your best story of Clown attack in your tank?

Bill, can't you make it through one week without having a crisis

As to my best clownfish attack story, Forget it I don't want to sound like a sissy boy

Lets just say I have had many such events, and their side of the tank is the most coralline covered part of the side and front of the glass because they just do not tollerate my hand being so close to their nest, clutch and colony of anemones. I've been thinking about building an eggcrate wall so that I can block them while I do my maintanance.

Thanks Thomas, yes it seems I've had a ton of stuff as of late. I'm actually blaming my bad luck for giving me this damn cold I have now, but anyway..... She does tolerate my hand, but she didn't want any part of the net being in there. I swear if I understood fish lingo she must have been cursing up a storm.

Did you let your fish water Finding Nemo?

HAHA, No... I've not seen a fish grab ahold of something like that before. At first I thought she was tangled in it, but no she just had a good grip with her mouth and wanted to teach that nasty ole net that it was going over the line.
The funny thing is, the pair of them never show any hostility to my blenny. In fact they even sleep in the same rock cave.
