What sort of clown is this?

Haha oh really? None of my clowns try to bite me... some just have an attitude I guess, lol.

Often clowns will attack others they interpret as being in the same 'rank' as them... so a male clown who 'owns' his tank will attack an invading equivalent sized male (his reflection), and a female will attack any other female clown or large males. The best way to pair clowns is to add a distinctly smaller clown and hope for the best (usually, there are some exceptions like maroon matching is often much more difficult).

Cheers,

My two perc. clowns try to bite me all the time! You would think after I've been the only one feeding them for 4 years they would be nicer. When I am trying to glue a new frag in the tank I litterally have to push these guys out of the way, they have no fear of my hands in the tank. I used to have a maroon clown with them but he was a bit of a bully but the percs always got him back. As soon as the maroon's back was turned they would dart out and nip him in the butt and then rush back into the rocks! It's easy to see where the name "clown fish" comes from with their antics.
