all my fishes are so timid, they run if I even put my hand over the tank... well, except my neon goby... he tries to "clean" my hand almost every time... nips quite hard sometimes, surprising the hell out of me

Been bitten by several clowns (Maroon, Gold Striped Maroons, and Ocellaris).

Poofie (the Porc. puffer) has also drawn blood when he bit me when I wasn't being careful enough.

Have also been "stung" by a 12" Volitan lionfish (worst pain I've ever experienced in my life). 2 spines full of poison right in the middle finger on my right hand.

On the other hand, I used to hand feed my Snowflake morays, Smooth Horn shark & other fish without incident.

Clown got me in the web between my fingers......that hurt so she got "flicked" thought I killed her she did the funny looping death swim but she recovered and learned the lesson don't bite the hand that feeds you

I guess my clowns are no more violent than anyone elses. Mine will ceaselessly attack me when I'm adding corals or doing any type of in tank maintenance. I found that if I place a fishnet in the tank when my hands are in it the clowns will hide and leave me alone.

I hand feed my freshwater pea puffer and he bites me every day. Too small to do damage but its funny. My cleaner shimp climbs on my and cleans my hands when I do maintaince, feels weird.

my crosshatch triggers could draw blood if I was not paying attention....did not please me, otherwise great fish.

all i have is one word...barracuda...if you even stick your finger in the tank the wrong way youll end up with a large slice down your finger. I cant imagine what i havent been bit by at work but the barracuda takes the cake even over show sized clown triggers, morays and even most sharks. Id even rather pick up a tokay gecko than get bit by my cuda.
