I have three and it seems they try to host me while my hands in the tank never once nipped but love to brush off my hand and arm

Although my Fire Clowns have never left the water to get me, they will however, take a nice-sized chunk out of you if you get within 2 feet of their Nem. Once the big bitch got me good and when I pulled my hand back I cracked my elbow on the euro-bracing. Came real close to filleting her that day!

Maybe he hates being in a tank and misses the wild lol He was an adrenaline junkie and got his kicks being chased around by sharks and such

Perhaps you have Finding Nemo on the tv far too much and its just trying to reinact the escape scene.

Ok thanks.....now I'm stuck with the concept of "ninja clowns" in my head...

seriously....would they sneak into your house in the dark of night and leave balloon animals all over the place?

My one clown is evil. Nips and has jumped out of the tank to get my hand as well. Can't put my hand in the tank without getting nipped. The other one I have is harmless. The evil one is a black ocellaris the nice one is orange.

I have only one Black Ice Semi-Snowflake clown that instantly gets agitated whenever my hand gets close to the surface. So far I have about a 2 minute time frame until the nipping starts. I'm still working on feeding my corals as quick as possible lol. lil
