Yup, by many of them...

I can hand feed most of my fish, when my foxface takes food, he actually will bite onto one of my fingers and won't let go. It doesn't hurt though.

My blue throat trigger is a different story, he sometimes will nip me, if I am working in the tank. NOW THAT HURTS!!!! He has sharp teeth. I always end up cleaning up water, as I fall back, splashing water everywhere.

Many times.
The female Fire Clown gets me quite regularly. My Trigger's bit me twice and the Foxface stung me once.

Oh Yeah, what about urchins.

Very painful, took forever to dig out the spine from my hand.
