My fish bites!

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.

I have 2 Maroon clowns - one in my 190 and one in my 230 - they have to live apart because they just couldn't get along. For a long time the one in my 230 used to bite me every time I put my hand in her end of the tank. It hurt! For some reason (nothing to do with me flicking her - hard) she has stopped and although you can tell she is ****ed if you get too close to the anthelia she hosts in she doesn't bite any more.

my maroon clown has nipped at me several times whenever I come too close to his anemone, but he won't bite when I'm feeding.

My Bluethroat Trigger bites me :S So freaky. He usually goes for this silver ring I have on my finger, which luckily doesnt hurt. But sometimes he'll go for my knuckle -- and that's FREAKY! Because you hear that *SNAP* they have. One time it actually got ahold of the skin on my knuckle, and he thrashed a little bit. No permanent damage though, but freaky nonetheless :S

I've tried to scare it away with my hand, but it hasnt learned, and will slowly come up to me and try to bite me again.
