There are some species that it is best not to feed by hand like eels, and fish that have large teeth. When you feed by hand they begin to associate your hand with food which is great until you need to put your hand in the tank to do some maintenance. Now since you don't have some food in your hand they may decide to sample your hand instead. Not a big deal with a clown fish, but if you had say a large trigger or a Hawaiian dragon eel it probably isn't going to end well.

I have a pair of "Aqua Gloves" from Dr. Fosters & Smith, they go all the way up to the shoulder. Not only does it protect whatever might be on my hands from the fishtank but it keeps my arms and clothes dry - which comes in handy when my arms have to get completely submerged into the 75g. They were not expensive (around $13) and are a great asset. Better safe than sorry....

I always use "Aqua Gloves" from Drs Foster and Smith. I've invested too much $ in my tanks to worry about infecting them w/ something that can be prevented.
I hand feed my naso all the time..the only fish thats man enough to stay out of the rocks.
