Yup, clowns are damsels, and mean by nature. Mine have bitten me several times.

Maybe, but mostly, they can just be mean.

Yup, just about any pair I have had nipped like crazy when my hand was in the tank. Hilarious, but at the same time if you aren't expecting it, it can be quite alarming lol.

Funny, my percs have never bitten me in 3 years of owning them.

I have been bitten by a picasso, but that's not really a surprise to anyone.

Clown fish are evil spawn. "Finding Nemo" was a public relations fraud.

My black clown at home is a maniac! He chases my hand and takes a nip every time my hand is in the tank. Even if I fight him off he does not back down, kinda funny.
