Clown attack

JayDiver · Sep 30, 2012

My clown that will eat flake from my fingers nipped the heck out of me when I was doing some in-tank work this morning. LOL It started out pretty funny and sparred with it for a while but it wouldn't stop. :boxing: I eventually had to use my scraper like a chair for a lion and was wishing I had a whip!

Mine clowns do the same thing when I get too close to their anemone. The female will even draw blood on occasion.

I bet you have an Oscellaris. LoL Even worst is a one with Snowflake bloodline... they're aggressive! :jaw:

My SA Fancy White female is so aggressive she will jump 3" out of the water! She always sneeks up on me when I least expect it.

That's crazy, I had no idea they were so fearless! She ended up at bobbing at the surface looking at me daring me to put a finger in! All the other fish head for the other end of the tank but she comes looking for something to nip! Crazy fish!
