Biting the hand that feeds you.
I have read similar posts of reefer's clownfish nipping them when they put their hands in the tank but my little perc is a piranha! I swear I can feel the teeth on this one inch monster and it makes me jump so high each time!
If I peer down from above he practically jumps out to bite me! His little clown face comes right out of the water in a frenzy to nip my nose. Little Nemo is quickly becoming Little Diablo in my eyes.

 . Great pic. My male, sent out by the female will bite my hand. Its not bad though. A friends male perc is nasty and has taken a hunk out of both myself and him. My former Cinnamon,s would go for the skin between my fingers and hold on. Sheez, nemo,s my #@&%. They can be nasty fish if they want.

Glad I'm not the only one with a "clowndevil" fish
 . And they look so cute and cuddly just swimming there. Until I put my hand in the tank. In my case they are defending a Zenia that they are hosting. I finally had to buy the full length gloves so I could work in the tank.

My little black occ is also a vicious little sob, but I love him. He bit me 3 times last night while mounting corals and only stopped when I put a fish net in the tank while I was working. Once the fish net goes in, he hides in the corner, lol.

 I had a cute little tomato clown and that thing attacked everything I put into the tank including a prized brown tang. It chewed it to threads. I have run into it in town here it is in this tank and I do laugh when I see it. I sure wasn't laughing when it turned into a tiny jaws.
