attacking clown

[discus guy]

i have a 24 nano coral tank with two black percula clowns and everytime i clean the tank or add a new coral they attack my hands. mostly the female they are the only thing in the tank. i want to add a really small goby but i think they will attack it since they have been alone for so long. what would i be able to add to the tank fish wise that will be ok. i have a small toadstool frag, finger frag, frogspawn frag, purple mushroom, yellow star polyps, and an assorted zoo frag. with about 25 lbs of lr and 20lbs of live sand plus 6 snails and two blue legged hermit crabs.

before you add more fish, get your cleaning crew built up. say 10 snails and 10 crabs is probably what you need. srry i cant help you with your decision making

The clowns feel threatened by your hand, which is why they're attacking. My tomato clown does pretty much the same thing. They would probably feel much less threatened by another fish, but you never know. DeMartini has a pair of clowns and another fish in her nano. I'm not sure what she had first, but she might be able to give you some advice.
