Tomato clowns attacking me

[Railskinner]

My clown attacks me as well, what i have done recently is put the net in the tank that i use to catch fish or other items. He then keeps his distance , even hides till ive completed my work. Give it a TRY

If all else fails, maybe a mini-spear gun

put your fingers in only and flick them when they come to attack your fingers.

I've just trained myself not to react when mine bite me. But, that was after several epic jump/splash events. It works pretty well, ignoring them, until they draw blood (one time only so far).

i usually throw a net in around they're anemone....usually keeps them worried rather than aggressive.
