My fish bites!

My clarki clown bites me all the time and then runs behind the rocks with the nori so I can't reach it

. I tried flicking her with my fingers but flicking underwater isn't very effective and I think my clown thought I was petting her, she didn't even have the grace to look remorseful

Here ya' go Ruth! Pretty fish! Too bad its fiesty!

My cinnamon clown tried to bite me once, and so did my bicolor dottyback, but only once each. Im sure it can be rather suprising being bit out of nowhere with your hand in a 'foreign land', per say! Sure scared me even though my clown just barely fits 1.5"!

My Trigger eats out of my hand and I am always so surprised how gentle he is. Then we have my female maroon. She draws blood on a regular basis. People who know her have to go get their own frags if the coral is near her.
