My black orca clown fish has recently been attacking my hand every time my hand is in the tank.

She is the biggest of my two clowns and ever since they hosted my anemone she's been acting aggressive.

Is this normal behavior?

Should I get rid of her?

What would u recommend?
 
Yes Completely normal and I wouldn't get rid of her, Just a natural behavior defending her anemone, I use to feed mine everytime I stuck my hand in the tank so it wouldn't focus on biting me as much lol.

It gets really annoying and I have to scare her off with constant flicking or else she gets me right between my fingers where it hurts lol she's my killer whale
 
Completely normal. I used a clear plastic sandwich meat container to remove my female from the tank when ever I had to work in the tank. She attacked the container every time, an easy catch.
 
My female Percula does this to me anytime I get near her nems. I tried to pull one of the nems out a few days ago and I spent half of the time flicking her away, in which it really only worked when I actually hit her.
 
Yea my fem follows my hand all the way to the other side of the tank and seriously goes crazy on my hand. I have her in my sump til my frag tank is set up she'll be my guard fish haha

I'm not tryin to be mean to her I mean I love her to death lol but she's annoying as hell

My orange ocellaris is the friendliest little guy so I'm gunna find him a new mate lol
