I'm in big trouble when my clown gets big

[tj51]

Wow, I think my clown forgets who feeds it. Whenever I put my hand in the tank, he goes after it. Doesn't mess with any of the fish, just my hand. And it doesn't even have to be close to the anemone. Anyone have this happen? Just the opposite with my cleaner shrimp. He loves to jump on my hand and pick on the skin. From one extreme to the other

Yup, I've had clowns eat at the little hairs on my hand when I reach into the tank.

I have a cinnamon clown who attacks my hand. Sometimes it even hurts! He doesnt attack any other fish...unless they go in his corner....then he chases them out. If he attacked my other fish i wouldnt keep him.
