Drew blood on four fingers of my right hand, holding the camera.
Possessed.

Also have a clarkie pair in my tank, yes same tank 5' between occy and clarkie territories. she still beats the tar outta the potential him. The one thing that keeps each clown pair in check is the other pair of clowns tho. Each pair will claim their side of the tank disregarding all the other fishes territories but they certainly keep to their own sides.

This is Davy Jones. The kids named him.

This little stink bites me over and over and over anytime my hand is in the tank. He takes his name super seriously.
Mine bites me all the time, what I do is have my daughter distract them with a turkey baster while I get to work.

I love these guys. Where did you get them? I will share a photo of mine tomorrow. I have two pairs. My older pair is around 8 years old. I have learned to not put angels in their tank. Yes their tank. 65 gallons for them. There is a mandarin pair and a purple firefish with them. They asked me to not rent out space to other fish. I respect their choice to privacy.

My clown is mean as heck! Total jerk! Viciously attacks me every time my hand is in the tank. Now if I have my gloves on she doesn’t mess with me, but bare skin and it’s on!!! If she keeps messing with my newly acquired scoly, she’s getting demoted to the dungeon!

So I removed a live rock from my display and didnt realize one of my damsel was hiding in there. He was out for a few minute and I put him back into the display. He was alive trying to catch his breath and then suddenly my 2 clowns dragged him into my bubbletip. RIP damsel. Couldn't react fast enough.
I recently added a nice fire fish to my 55 gal . Two days later he was missing. Thought he may have jumped but could not find. Maybe my 10 year true percula clown took it to my bubble tip and thus no fish found.

my clownfish is completely chill with everything in the tank except my blue devil damselfish...she hardly ever misses an opportunity to mess with Fiji Girl. But the damsel is too fast. Sounds like your clowns just seized their opportunity...wonder why clowns don’t like damsels? I went back through 2 months of pictures to find one of them close together in the frame, and it was at feeding time!

clowns don't like damsels because they are damsels themselves. just like you can't have multiple tangs or wrasses of the same kind.

My clowns are downright evil.
So far they have killed -
My 4 year old mandarin.
2 firefish.
My royal gramma.
The only fish they don't seem to harras is my yellow clown goby, maybe due to the poisonous stress coat they have.
