Somewhere on the forum is a post and a picture from Bang Guy about a clown that took a chunk out of his thumb and fed it to a nem.
funny how I can remember that, but can't remember....

I get bit all the time. My clowns take turns and don't let go. Then, the rest of the fish take turns.

I used to get bit by my female clown. My evil yellow watchmen goby would attack me, but other than that no bites. I hand feed, so I think that helps A LOT.
