Sometimes this hobby really bites.

So I was cleaning my tank a bit today when all of a sudden it felt like something just stabbed me. Looked down at my arm and saw blood, and it made me start thinking....how could my clownfish have done that...being that they always attack me when I have my arm in my tank. So I went back to scraping the glass and it happened again, and dang near in the same spot....but I caught a glimpse at the culperit....

No wonder he drew blood.

Triggers can be really nasty, some of the big ones you encounter while diving will sometimes chase you for several meters.

So I have heard. I saw the titan trigger video with the diver. I myself am a diver but have yet to dive anywhere worth mentioning outside of Hawaii.

Titan triggers seem to be by far the worst, but a Humuhumu and along with several other species going after a diver isn't uncommon.

I know my huma huma had no problem biting me. And he was the size of a quarter.

My huma huma bit me, you know what happened to him? He got put in the freezer.

 

[shapermike]

That does suck. I have been struck but some fish but not by a trigger...

 

[Crooks]

I put the frozen food in front of the vortec and my desjardinii sailfin always eats from my hand. So when my friend came over to feed my fish while I was out of town he tried just putting the food on the powerhead and my sailfin came and bite him hard enough he jumped and knocked the mh/t5 light fixture into my tank. Best part is it was his fixture.

 

[shapermike]

I bet he was mad that he broke his own fixture.

Stupid tang.

Only one end went in. The mh still works but the t5 doesnt even with new bulbs.

Still my favorite fish. Even more now that he bites others and not me.
