Clownfish bites me?

[Andreas' Reef]

Whenever I stick my hands in the tank for maintenance, My clownfish will bite my hand like there's no tommorow, although it is very cute, why does he do this?

It’s just a clown thing. You’ll find this is a very common occurrence. So much so that it’s more rare to have clowns that don’t go full piranha on people lol

Imagine if a large bald fellow named "tiny" came into your home and started moving around things. You are tiny.

they are territorial and you are in his space. It’s not cute anymore once they get big enough for it to hurt!

My friend has a clown that has made them bleed and cry

They have limited access to a cell phone and can't speak english

Mine drew blood a few times... You will learn to wear gloves.

When they find the soft spots between the fingers, they never forget and learn to go for it every time.
