Clownfish barking at me

[wsz594]

...well maybe not barking, but my big ol Clarkii Clown just made some very interesting snapping sounds when I was using my cleaning magnet, and it was loud! I couldnt figure out what it was then I looked into the tank and the clown was about 2 inches from the glass right in front of my face snapping his jaw closed. That clown is a beast! Im 10000 times his size and he was standing me down lol. Has anyone else seen any clown behavior like this?(I had no idea they could make sounds till today)

And they bite too and when they do they draw blood! I had a female Perc that was great till she got mature, if I had a hand in tank she would sneak up and snap tail at me. If that didn't work she would nip my arm and draw blood.

This one seems like it wants to try something every time I stick my hand in too, but hasnt done anything yet. Its about 5 inches long so I hope I dont get bit. Thinking of that sound of her jaw slamming shut makes me nervous now.

My clown starting hating me when I had to remove her ailing anemone. For months, she bit me every time I put my hand in. No barks though - I did have a puffer that quacked at me...

Its almost like this Clarkii THINKS there is an anemone in the tank. It likes to do this annoying thing where it snatches a silverside from my hands while im feeding my lions and groupers, then brings it to the exact same spot in the tank everytime and drops it, its like hes trying to feed an invisable anemone lol.
