Tomato Clown BITES ME!!

[kat 4]

Anyone ever had a nasty tomato clown? We have a 3" one with an anemone and if we stick our hands in the tanks she heads after our hand and bites. She even drew blood on my husband. I think she's protecting her anemone but it makes it hard to work at all in the tank when you have to keep something between your hand and her.
