Clown fish nibbling hand

[Aidanwolf]

So I have four Clown fish and every time I put my hand in the aquarium they all start nibbling my hand I'am not sure why. they don't seen to be doing it out of aggression it is kind of weird.

 

[Robert Nofer]

Are you hand feeding them and do they have eggs in the tank also clownfish may look Innocent but they can be very aggressive

 

[Jason mack]

Wait till they host an anamone .. then they Will attack you when you put Your hand in near them .!!!!:D:D

Clowns can be little jerks.. their cute faces may make it look like they're not doing it out of aggression, but they probably hate you [emoji6]

They are known to nibble on their anemone especially when new as well.

 

[Michael Cronmiller]

Mine nibble every time I'm in the tank as well...they are goofy lil jerks..lol

My female bites hard whenever my hand is in. Only my female. They can definitely be huge jerks.

Are they all the same species of clown? What kind kind are they?

 

[Aidanwolf]

They are all the same kind. I feed them with a turkey baster so I don't over feed the tank. They do not have eggs. It is funny because they seem unfazed when I try to touch them or close my hand around them.

mine just recently started, and he doesn't stop, it can be annoying when i'm working in the tank, my other clown doesn't bother just one is a jerk

I have two clowns and neither do that but I do have a starry blenny that does. Every time I put my hand in the tank it gets me out of nowhere. I always forget he does it and it makes me jump every time. He probably wants me to stay on my side of the glass!

My bigger clown used to bite me every opportunity she had. For the past 6 months I'm not sure what changed but neither clown fish bite me anymore.
