Nasty clownfish

She just doesn't want me in there...

If she'd quit knocking everything over, I'd happily keep my hands out.

This solidifies the reason why the nostalgia of clown has it’s limitations and I forgo owning them period. If I need to work on my tank I’ll do so not having to worry about a blasted clownfish.

My B/W would destroy the scape if I moved corals around. She would just up corals and drop to the sand bed.

I guess I'm lucky she doesn't have a "fricken' laser beam" on her head.

 

[Webslinger]

she's just reminding you that you should keep your hands out of the tank. :)

Clarkii's, the psychopath's of the reef!

You think your clown bit you bad, eh?

Seriously??? Do you have a pic of the perpetrator?

You may try hand feeding so that the fish associates your hand with feeding and not a threat. Good luck!

One really angry maroon or tomato lol?

I'm leaning more towards this.

Mine use to get aggressive. Chased her around for 20 minutes by hand til she almost had a heart attack and then scooped her up. Think she got the point. No issues anymore.

They are semi trainable like dogs.
Man I miss my triggers.

Parrot fish!

Parrot fish!

Shark with wings!

Funny you say that; my girlfriend's nickname for that bird is 'shark mouth'

My black and whites wouldn't attack immediately. They waited till I had forgotten about them or been distracted by something and then they attacked with a vengeance! Don't know how many times I've hit my hand on the lights after jerking it back in fit of panic when they did this!

It's funny I have 3 clowns in my tank and they never bother me. My hippo tang I think is bi polar. One day its rubbing up against my hand other days it bites the hell outa me. lol.

 

[Jettareefer223]

I found my various lengths of one piece Kent scrapers to be ultimate weapon against rogue clownfish..... :rolleyes:

 

[jeffchapok]

My clown didn't get aggressive until I got them a BTA. The first one died and apparently she thinks that was my fault. I guess I'm no longer to be trusted.

I was guessing moray.
Unless you have a 2000 gallon tank with a shark or barracuda.
