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.

am i the only one without a vicious clown. ive had a few nips that didnt hurt but only because they were hungry and thought my finger might be food, other than that, they never attack me or anything. i did love the picture at the begginging though, its like "jaws 5 attack of the nemo."

My female maroon could be considered more tolerant than the average maroon I suppose. It varies though, some days she's more aggressive than others. She's bit my hand only a few times and not enough to draw blood, but she's getting pretty big, so it may only be a matter of time. I have to be getting pretty close to her GBTA before she gets overly nasty. My blue devil damselfish gives me more grief with attacks than the female maroon. He thinks he owns the whole tank and will go after my hand almost anywhere. Lately I've been setting a set of tongs in the tank too when I'm working in there, it seems to make the fish back off and allows me to work more or less in peace.

I think they need to lay a set of eggs first.
I have three pair and only the ones that have laid eggs are bitting me.
