Yeah, they will do that sometimes...the first time mine did it, he didn't eat for a week. And he never nipped at me again.

Mine used to do that, but I just kept flicking them with my finger. They finally learned.

That's why I always kept a wooden spoon near my tank, to chase my clowns off when I had to put my hands in it.

When I removed my nem my clowns went crazy and took a few nips at me, but I had a coralife glove on so all it felt like was a light tapping. I don't think they are to wild about me... oh yes I remember the wooden spoon, lol.

My clown fish would do that too when it was young. That is why I named it Buster.
It would rush in and headbutt my hand.
I think it got tired of doing that over the years and just chilled around when I was servicing the tank.

they call me fish geek ;p
When I had clowns my female used to attack my hand. The only way to get he to back off was to make a fist. She must have known that is the punching position lol. Of course I never punched her just swatted away.

My clowns are relentless, flick 'em, swat at them them, whatever and they just leave for a few seconds and then come back. But i have learned they will attack a shiny ring instead of my flesh, so now i always wear a ring when my hands are in the tank.

We have a friend with 2 maroons, one is huge and everytime he sticks his plant tongs in the water it attacks the rod and sometimes attacks his hand and makes him bleed eek!
Our clowns on the other hand are good.. but they're still young and small lol :)
