Most dangerous fish/invert

[Steven91]

Okay, we all keep different types of fish and invert in our tanks, and we do at some point have to do maintenance in and around the tank, whether water changes or placing a new frag, but sometimes this is made difficult by a fish or invert we have in the tank. I have a black long spine urchin which loves to hang out in the right side of the tank as well as a foxface though he hides if Im doing any work.

Which all do you have and how do you go about doing your business in the tank?

Clownfish lol they always attack my hand. I just let them do what they want to do. I’ll have to get a video of it tomorrow.

Ive heard they can get aggressive against hands, and apparently also eyes

That I have? Small clownfish or bubble tip anemone. That other people have? I'd think blue ring octopus, or a large shark.

Zoas/ palys the toxins can be horrible.

Clowns!

Moray Eels have a very nasty bite. Not to mention the resulting infection that can happen.

As for animals I do have palys by far are the most dangerous. Despite this I still enjoy my grandis palys and nuclear green palys.

I've got a vicious peppermint shrimp. Attacks anything he doesn't recognize. Hands, glass scraper, nets and rocks. I'm sure I will add more things to the list in time.
Other than that just anemones and zoa's / paly's.
A yellow damsel who hates everyone, but he hides when I do maintenance, so not sure if he counts or not. Truly a devil though.

Dangerous to me, or other inhabitants?

Me, probably the pallys if I get careless...
Other inhabitants, either the six line or the coral banded shrimp, both of which have been completely peacfull to date with the except of the shrimp when I hand caught him to transfer tanks. Can't blame him I'd do more than pinch the fool out of a giant that just pulled the roof off my house and picked me up.

Uhh. My one inch clownfish bit me and it didnt hurt. I see all these stories where the clowns jump out of the water or draw blood! Im scared it will start attacking me when its bigger.

 

[deedubz]

Wrasses.. They'll put a hurting on your wallet.

 

[budget buster]

I chose other for zoas and palys, but I too have a snowflake that performs sneak attacks on my hand.

[tgionet]

My clowns bite me all the time, 1.5" so not big enough to hurt but always surprises me
