[billyjoe]

Has anyone been nipped at by there clown fish?? I know I have put my hand in my tank at least a thousand times and all of a sudden to day after having this fish for a year and a few months he decided to bite me it even left a red mark on my hand. lol and it scared the crap out of me :hilarious

ILL NEVER stick my hand in my tank b/c my grouper swims around the top of the tank for most of the day until i feed him. sorry about you getting nipped by your clown fish.

If you should develop any redness or inflammtion and do go to a medical facility, be sure and let them know you received the bite in a marine eviornment!

i've been biten by many fishes in the past.......cowfish...eel...grouper.....it scared the crap out of me but never did any serious damage.....all of them happened while i was handfeeding them. but, i still keep on handfeeding all of my fishes.......btw, you've got one bold clown out there...

My GSM clown "attacks" my hand whenever my hand is near his anemone. Not really a bite more like a thump to say " out of my territory". Maybe its just mine.

my tomato clown gives me a good bite every now and then, even when i am not close to his anemone!

I got a little tank-raised perc and he nibbles on my finger every chance he gets. But it doesnt hurt

A couple of months ago my female Ocellaris tore a chunk of flesh off he back of my hand. Glad no sharks were around because it really bled a lot. I was just grabbing the rock their eggs were on. Now I use tongs.

When I had my domino damsels, they would both come out and slap my fingers with their caudal fins as I attempted to hand-feed my Red General star.

Yep, My percs nip at my hand anytime I put it in "their end" of the tank.

A clown I had a few years back used to nip at me everytime I fed. I had a Picasso Trigger that nipped me once too. The worst bite I ever had was when I had a freshwater tank and my 9 year old foot long Piranha bit me! I still have a scar on my hand from that one!

Ouch thats sounds painful and nasty

My perc used to nip on me. Bang, no offense, but that was just a mummy protecting her babies. U got it coming, lol.

My ocell's been trying to bite my hand when I add seaweed to the clip. Now I put the net in the tank just to scare him away and stick in my hand.

My maroon slaps the crap out of my hand whin I put it near her anemone. It will scare the crap out of me, even though I know it's coming!
