I'm curious to know: has anyone ever had a fish or other critter in their tank that drew blood? I've had clowns nip at my hand before but they never broke the skin.

I pay close attention to where my fish are. My clowns usually eat food right off the chopstick, and when they grab the stick to get food off there, I swear if I don't hold it tight, they'd pull the stick into the water! So, no way am I letting them near my fingers lol

I had a yellow tang cut me years ago. Also on the freshwater side i had about a 18 inch red tail catfish make my finger look like hamburger. That was the last time i hand fed him!:D

I've never had one of my fish draw blood... but when I worked at Petco I got bloodied by triggers (niger and picasso... mostly picasso), yellow tangs and once a snowflake eel. The worst I got from freshwater (believe it or not) was a Pleco. The animal that drew blood most consistently, however, were hamsters.

I had a large and mean Purple Tang that would attack me every time I would put my hand into the tank. Even though he was beautiful, I hated that fish.

It wasn't me!
I had a female Goldbar Maroon Clown that bit me and drew blood. I had my arm all the way in the tank and she got me on the inside of the bicep.

Yup. Snowflake. He was probably about twelve inches or so. Right at the base of my thumb. I thought I was going to have to get stitches... but it was pretty superficial.

Moray teeth are angled inward so that, if he really gets a grip on you and you pull away the teeth will only sink in deeper.

Not all morays, the snowflakes are actually more molar shaped for crushing crustaceans and other shelled inverts.
