Hi all
i believe its false percula
i was putting my neon candy cane away from my torch coral and suddenly the clown attacked my hand i thought it wont bite i kept fixing the corals spots

its a pair of percula
i just wants to know if it is normal ?

[Aquattro]

Yup, clowns are damsels, and mean by nature. Mine have bitten me several times.

i tried to scare em away but it was just trying to bite me
its a pair and i thought they might have eggs thats why they being aggressive

[Aquattro]

Maybe, but mostly, they can just be mean.

[FishyFishy!]

Yup, just about any pair I have had nipped like crazy when my hand was in the tank. Hilarious, but at the same time if you aren't expecting it, it can be quite alarming lol.

Funny, my percs have never bitten me in 3 years of owning them.

I have been bitten by a picasso, but that's not really a surprise to anyone.

That would be Zeus, the customer eater.

Clown fish are evil spawn. "Finding Nemo" was a public relations fraud.

My black clown at home is a maniac! He chases my hand and takes a nip every time my hand is in the tank. Even if I fight him off he does not back down, kinda funny.

Both my clowns attack when ever a hand is near the water.
They have caused many corals to be broken by my reflex to them nipping.

Someone on here had there clown jump out of the water at them a few months back.
