Ha..my foxface is the one fish that I watch when I put my hand in there. (you know they are venomous, eh?)

My Blue Thoat trigger (the one that now lives at the Vancouver Aquarium) got me a few times and my friends a few times. He was very aggressive and drew blood every time.

...and the urchins got me a few times.

None of my fish have ever done more than give me the occasional love-bite, but I've been smacked by my 5" peacock mantis shrimp (O. scyllarus). my finger went numb for half an hour and I suspect those were just warning shots. I don't doubt it could break my finger if it wanted to. Needless to say, I'm much more alert if I'm ever aquascaping these days.

My tomato clown is a very territorial little fish. She bites my fingers any time I get too close to her anemone. She has also bit the pectoral fins short on a volitan lionfish and has taken a bite out of the tail fin of a copper banded butterfly.

bitten oh yeah by lots of different things
 
In my tank.my female clown always bites me if I get to close.
In the wild I have been bitten on the forearm and have had my nipple mistaken for food while feeding fish. Stepped on a stingray got stung in the ankle worse pain I have ever felt. Kicked a urchin with my heel and spend the next week trying to pick the quills out of my heel, they dont really hurt though, they look a lot worse than they are.
