I have been wearing gloves and you know what? He goes for the couple of inches of exposed skin from my wrist up. I have noticed he doesn't even pay any attention to me if I go in with my red gloves... Weird! It doesn't hurt (unless he gets a good one) but yes it definitely startles you if he sneaks up on you! I guess at least I am not alone...

are nasty little buggers! my maroon goes for the flesh right between my fingers. to the point that i tried to sell him! when i finally got him out of my tank i put him in a time out tank. he never sold. i missed him so much i ended up putting him back in the DT. they are so cute arnt they..... am starting to remember again why i took him out in the first place!! he keeps my yellow tang in check tho. without him my pink/blue spotted goby gets his ass kicked.

Depending on the clownfish some are alot more nastier than others... I use to get bitten hard by a rogue clarki but I fought him a few lessons... The hand that bit back!$@ lol. I would flick him with my finger not too hard that it would kill him but hard enough to let him know who was boss, after the 5th time whenever I made my hand look like it was going to flick he never came close, and who could blame him, imagine if an elephant hit you with a trunk you would steer away too....

As for my percs they sometimes bite abit and maybe more of a nudge to say I am hungoly!! feed me... But I have had to pull the flicking finger once or twice on them never flicked but just to show them that it could go off like a wild cannon....

It's all about respect, train your fish people. Don't be a slave to your pet nor inslave your pet, gain the upper hand and respect!
