Attacking Tomato!

I was just cleaning my tank and my tomato clown was trying to nip at my hand. He did this a couple of days ago, too. Now, I've had this fish for about 10 years, and this is relatively new behavior on his part. Anyone ever been bitten by a clown? I'm wondering if maybe he's protecting the star polyp I added recently. Perhaps he's developed an attachment to it?

He's just simply defending his territory. I've heard from others that have been bitten by their own clownfishes as well.
