Default Tomato clowns attacking me

Is there anyway to stop clowns from biting your hands while working in the tank other than spearing them with a turkey skewer??

Seriously this is driving me nuts, I'm thinking I'm going to sell the fish and their anemone.. allthough I know would take a week to catch those buggers.

Aquarium gloves are like condoms .. sure they protect you but you don't have any feeling

Get some peppermint shrimp. Mine fight off any fish that come near my arm - it's their territory to climb all over

Cool Attacking Clowns

My clown attacks me as well, what i have done recently is put the net in the tank that i use to catch fish or other items. He then keeps his distance , even hides till ive completed my work. Give it a TRY

Are you wearing any rings?? My female clowns will only attack my hand if I have my ring on.... They like the sparklyness (that is so not a word) of it...I've started taking it off now and I havn't had a problem since... Probably a silly one but thought I'd mention it...
