I have 2 Maroon clowns - one in my 190 and one in my 230 - they have to live apart because they just couldn't get along. For a long time the one in my 230 used to bite me every time I put my hand in her end of the tank. It hurt! For some reason (nothing to do with me flicking her - hard) she has stopped and although you can tell she is ****ed if you get too close to the anthelia she hosts in she doesn't bite any more.

my maroon clown has nipped at me several times whenever I come too close to his anemone, but he won't bite when I'm feeding.

My Bluethroat Trigger bites me :S So freaky. He usually goes for this silver ring I have on my finger, which luckily doesnt hurt. But sometimes he'll go for my knuckle -- and that's FREAKY! Because you hear that *SNAP* they have. One time it actually got ahold of the skin on my knuckle, and he thrashed a little bit. No permanent damage though, but freaky nonetheless :S

I've tried to scare it away with my hand, but it hasnt learned, and will slowly come up to me and try to bite me again.
