After owning several mild mannered Ocellaris, I can finally answer "yes" to this question. My 4 year old female is still fine with me but her new man that I added about a month ago is a little prick. I was scraping algae and doing some re-arranging last weekend and this guy didn't want me anywhere near his hammer coral. He'd flick his tail and if that didn't work he would move in for the bite. The bites didn't really hurt- he's only a little under 2" but they'd certainly startle you if you weren't expecting it. I had to remove his coral and when I tried to put it back into place he took revenge. Anywhere my hand was in the tank he went after it, not only his corner.
