No kidding and it is always at the backside of the arm. I have dropped many things because my damsel has nailed me.

Hey, I've got a 7" hippo tang that attacks my tongs. He has never gone after me but he dosen't like those tongs. He also dosen't like new frags, everytime I put new frags in the tank he picks them up and swims back and forth across the tank at mach 10. He usually drops them in the front of the tank but I have lost 1 so far. I guess I have to decide where I want the frags and glue them down. I used to trial and error it for a day, I can't give the tang the choice, he has terrible taste

I have a cinnimon clown and anemone and it does the same thing, attacks my hand as soon as I put it in the tank.

HA Ha my false Purcula attacks my hand. My Darwin's and Maroons do not though.
My maroon has taken to pushing rocks around. :twised: I am a bit concerned that she will start attacking my hand when they finally get around to laying eggs as she is over 3" and my Niger Trigger attacks my scraper thank god it does not attack my hand. I think it does not like the black color maybe it thinks it's another Trigger.

My Oc. percs are pretty docile actually, when I was putting some new frags in the tank today they were swimming in between my fingers and one got brave enough to give me a little nip. It wasn't really a bit though, I think she was just tasting my finger. It wasn't a bite... or anything. In between the gf commenting it was the cutest thing she had ever seen, she thought it almost looked like the clown was giving me a kiss..
