I have 2 clowns who watch me everytime I go by the tank, they also watch my 2 1/2 yr old son. Maybe they are plotting to take him out 1st and coming after me later. Better keep the wife away.

The clownfish personality discussion part of this thread is very interesting to me.
Many of you have seen my pair of Amphiprion ocellaris clownfish. I think they are the sweetest fish in my tank. They will come to the glass and watch me as BCReefer mentioned. And when the lid comes up, they will both come to the water surface to greet me, anticipating dinner being served.
When I clean the glass near them, they don't even mind me there, even inches away from their anemone. And if I put my hand near them they will often swim over to check me out and see if I've got anything for them.
Very sweet little guys. So it makes me laugh to see others with little terrors. I was amazed to see Darren's Maroon attack his hand as he was "fishing" for coral frags for me when I was there. It amplifies the fact that all fish have unique personalities.
Another personality example, my Yellow-tailed Blue Damsel, a saint! Doesn't bother anyone at all, except for a subtle reminder if a smaller fish comes too close to his little hideout. Even at feeding time he's completely civilized. And he was one of the first inhabitants of the tank. A stark contrast to the majority of Damsel personalities.
