I hand feed my freshwater pea puffer and he bites me every day. Too small to do damage but its funny. My cleaner shimp climbs on my and cleans my hands when I do maintaince, feels weird.

Ha..my foxface is the one fish that I watch when I put my hand in there. (you know they are venomous, eh?)

My Blue Thoat trigger (the one that now lives at the Vancouver Aquarium) got me a few times and my friends a few times. He was very aggressive and drew blood every time.

...and the urchins got me a few times.

None of my fish have ever done more than give me the occasional love-bite, but I've been smacked by my 5" peacock mantis shrimp (O. scyllarus). my finger went numb for half an hour and I suspect those were just warning shots. I don't doubt it could break my finger if it wanted to. Needless to say, I'm much more alert if I'm ever aquascaping these days.

My tomato clown is a very territorial little fish. She bites my fingers any time I get too close to her anemone. She has also bit the pectoral fins short on a volitan lionfish and has taken a bite out of the tail fin of a copper banded butterfly.
