Lol. I have an ocelaris that I don’t even flinch anymore when it bites me! Lol.Maroon Gold stripe Clown Fish - Female Adult. This was in my 125 packed SPS tank. Everytime I reached into the tank and was anywhere near her area - Whack she nailed me.
Tried to catch her with nets -- No Go
Tried with Traps - No Go
Tried with Siphon - No Go
Tried with Wet Dry Vac - No Go
Finally opened my hand wide spread and reached right into 'her' area. She of course bit be in the meat between thumb and pointer finger. And when she bit down I yanked my hand back - Pulling the fish out of the tank and onto the floor.
She spent many years after that in an outdoor rock sump before she found a home at a classroom tank out in Palm Springs.
I hated that fish.
There have been angels here and there that have torn into corals. And I have always been able to easily catch troublemakers. But she was a pain.

I just picked up two peppermint shrimp in one tank and a cleaner for the other. What do I need to look out for?Not fish but I hated my peppermint shrimps and cleaner shrimp
This is how I feel about my yellow tang. She was so sweet as a baby, but just a few months later she turned into the devil fish. Her body count is 5 so far... she bullied $400 worth of anthias and a yellow eyed kole tang to death. She even went after the azure damsels I recently added. Ridiculous! 3 of the damsels have survived, but I believe they may have picked off the other 2 and can't for sure blame it on the tang. Weird thing is, she used to be best buddies with the much larger tomini tang I used to have. Followed him around like a puppy. So I thought she'd accept another bristletooth tang, but no dice. Hopefully she settles down eventually. I do love having her and she's beautiful to look at. Just a PITA right now, lol!Powder Brown. Bullied to death numerous fish and initially I couldn’t even catch him to give him away to LFS.
Now he is more mellow and coexist with many other fish, including those which I introduced recently.He is the most active fish I have and gives me lots of joy, so I have forgiven him his deadly sins.
dude believe me I feel your pain! I get so frustrated!! i might actually attempt to trap him. Im thinking about just 3d printing some sort of fish trap or something. He spits sand on some of my nicest pieces and it just drives me crazy! LolThe same thing happens to me with a blue spotted jaw fish and maroon clowns(which also bite) Maroon clowns swim halfway up the tank to drop sand. Blue spotted jaw fish loves spitting all over the place as well ( what makes it 10x worse is that it changes burrows every night)
