Okay very recently I added a new anemone to my tank and my female clown has become very aggressive, she's also seemed to have influence my other fish as well. Any tips of cleaning your tank or moving things around? It doesn't hurt but I'm afraid she gets me just right and blood gets into the tank.

I thought about latex gloves but I'm not sure if they are safe for the tank.

My female is the same way, she draws blood all the time! I chase her away with my feeding tongs but she still gets me. Shes bit me so many times now that Im just used to it tried the re arranging thing too and she was having none of that. If that helps, I do also chase her off with my hand too and she will leave then come right back and the process repeats
 
My clown gets aggressive when my hand is in the tank. I found that putting my small net in the tank when my hand is in it keeps them far away from me.
 
I rarely put my hands inside tank, magnet glass scraper, turkey baster, tongs, will do most of cleaning work and you can operate them from outside tank.
