I did this yesterday and it actually worked! I think because my net is black and it knows I’ll cage it to do what I gotta do it learned.. I wore a black nitrile glove counting on getting bit when I grabbed a torch next to nem to move it and my clown didn’t bother me for once! Didn’t care at all..
Depends on the species. Maroons are a pain in the butt err hand.. mine would always go for the web between the thumb and index finger. The 4 designer clowns in my current tank (280) just look for food weather I am inside the tank or walking byBefore I got out of the hobby 15 years ago I owned several tanks and worked at 2 top quality lfs's. I never so much as heard of clowns attacking their owner. First live rock now this? What did you guys do to the hobby while I was gone?!
i only have one that does it. all of my others dont. i have a total of 4, but only 2 of them are kept together. the other two arent paired any longer so i had to seperate them. the ones that are paired, the male is the one that attacks, but isnt constant. hes not like a piranha, but he will come after my hand, most likely defending territory if im near itBefore I got out of the hobby 15 years ago I owned several tanks and worked at 2 top quality lfs's.

Yup, black nitrile gloves (get at Home Depot painting section) and you’ll be left alone! I have a pair of 17 y/o cinnamon clowns and the female can make my hand bleed. Those gloves on and she won’t come near me.
have you tried asking them nicely?
