I once had a skunk tile fish. WORST. JUMPER. EVER. It would stick its face out of the water and squirt me. When I took the cover off to do maintenance it would stick half of its body out of the water and go across the tank practically on its tail like a dolphin would.
I would literally have to shove it down into the water to keep it from jumping out. (Imagine trying to do a water change while playing whack-a-mole with your fish LOL)

IT'S GONNA EAT ME!!!
LOL...
My Molly pushes everyone else around, and the one asterina that exists in my 20g ate my monti frag. XP I haven't yet found it so I can give it what-for. I'll probably put it in the FO tank when I find it. If Kirby (our green spotted puffer) eats it, so be it.

Our pink spot sleeper goby drags hermit crabs off in to his cave lol. And my clowns tick me off by hosting with our frogspawn arg. Wasn't bad when they were small and it was huge but I have fragged it a lot lately and now they are bigger. Need to do some rearranging and get a nem for them....

Well my dogfish chased my catfish and my lungfish smoked too much.
My angel fish keep dying and my shrimp plays with his lunch.
The bat fish were nocturnal and my puffers never puffed.
My clownfish never joke because they always get so stuffed.
My rocks are caving in because the fish that I just bought
Was 37 inches, from the ocean he was caught.
He ate my clowns, my lungfish too...
That made him cough a time or two. He then devoured the rest quite quick
And then he bit me on the...hand...
The wrong zoanthids are growing on glass
The pulsing Xenia is pulsing too fast.
My Blastomussa doesn't Blasto at all.
My Kenya tree doesn't molt in the fall.
My brains all forgot that my cup corals leak
My starfish don't twinkle and the flower pot stinks!!!!
Or something like that?

My diamond watchmen hides frags I put on the sand. Just found some nice zoas and a pretty mushroom that my watchmen deemed unworthy.

I've had a few "not so funny ones" over the years.
A couple that come to mind first off are my pair of Darwin clowns that I've had for about 7yrs.The male loves to host in either Duncans or Torch corals. I had purchased a lovely new colony of Duncans and kept coming home to find them in the sandbed atop either chalices or one day my Spongebob favia. Began watching to see what was going on at this point. The Duncans wouldn't let the female host because she was too rough and so she would literally pick them up with her mouth and toss them off of the ledge they were on!
Just last week I was able to go to WWC and came home with several gorgeous chalice frags, including a Sweet Dreams chalice. I have two rather large diadema urchins in my tank and have had them for quite some time. With the exception of them knocking things over, they have never caused any damage. I came home to find that part of the flesh was torn from the Sweet Dreams. Broken hearted and angry I began watching for the culprit. Later that night I watched the urchin crawl over my frag shelf and when he was done he had literally ripped flesh from three other chalice frags as well! He and the other urchin were banished to the sump that night until they can find a new home.

That reminds me of a song. "Little Blue Dune Buggy" by the President of the United States of America....yes that's a real group. Look it up and listen to the words..it's cute. It's about a spider.
I saw them in 6th grade lol! I love that band

Does death count as annoying things we do to our fish? After all they'd be fine in the ocean

You don't think fish die far more frequently in the ocean? Have u been there? It's a dangerous place for fish! I don't believe fish ever die in the ocean of old age.

When my shrimp shed. I always think that they died until I find the two of them happy as can be.
