So I have two Black Ice Snowflake Clowns. And a Rose Bubbletip Anenome that they haven’t found yet.. but they’ve been staying near my magfloat most of the time.. so I took it out and now they try and bite me when I put my hands in the tank… ‍♀️

Why are they trying to bite me all of a sudden? Could it really be because I removed a cleaning magnet?

I’ve read that lol I did it bc I want them to get attached to the nem.. not a magnet
But must have ticked it off
I just placed a new BTA in the tank yesterday and my 3 clowns still haven’t noticed it (not the sharpest pencils in the bunch!)

Yup mine get really anxious when I scrap the glass with a mag float. So much so I'm worried they are going to get cut by it!

Any clown/s I’ve owned have all attacked me haha

My old female years ago would literally latch on my arm like a dog and shake violently. I would get little welts from her!
