Clown bit me

[Alexwilson1337]

Is it normal for a b&w occ to get protective of an anemone when she's only been in the thing for about 4 days

 

[Reefer54]

yep. thats home.....here in colorado we have the make my day law. I iimagine its about the same in an anemone.

It's just weird cuz when she wa hosting my corals there was no agression now I can't feed the nem

Clowns are possessive! My clown would attack the living daylights out of my hand whenever I was in there. Without even a nem in the tank!

Feed it at night, after the lights go out. The clown won't be so aggressive then.

My female clown bit me when I was cleaning near her nem.... I didn't realize how hard they bite but when I pulled my hand out when I was done cleaning I had blood dripping down my fingers

BTW they work in pairs
Lysmata amboinensis land on your hand to get your attention.
And than sneaky clown bite u when u did not expect that.
That is how new frags are born

DO NOT BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU


print that up and tape it to the side of the tank so they can see it.

Time for gloves.

 

[Alexwilson1337]

Haha I suppose. She's never been so defensive about anything I've had her for like 5ish months she even won't let the male near it.

My clowns could care less during the day, but after the lights go out they both will nail you when trying to spot feed some corals.

My clowns both bite me very time I put my hand in the tank..

Its funny cuz its the other way around for me my male is the one who bites. Me and his not affaid of me. At all. I chase him away and turns right around and chases me. Its kinda funny

Both my bw clowns would bite my hand even to the point of breaking the surface to try to nip me.

I had a perc pair and the female was fairly large and aggressive- even without a nem if my hand ever went anywhere near the surface of the water she'd bite me. Very protective of their whole 40B
