So my clownfish keep biting me when I get near their 3 toadstools... THEY ARE ****ED! Any solution?

Sorry, could not resits.

Wear glove(s) and you will be ok even when it bites you.

Its hard to stay away from them lol. Its more annoying than anything. Can anyone suggest gloves to me that are good for reefers cause I have a lot of bristle worms too.

My male bites me anytime I place my hand on "his" turf. Never hurts, I think it's funny!

They make gigantic arm length reef gloves, but the sheer size and bulkiness makes them unsuitable for most in-the-water applications. I use regular disposable nitrile gloves.

About a week after I introduced my first ocellaris to my old 65 while doing maintenance it bit me in the soft spot between my fingers drawing blood. We named her Jaws. About 2 years later she was nearly 3" and we introduced a small maybe 1.25" specimen. He hovered mid tank for 5 seconds. Jaws sprinted out of her anemone and went nose to nose and a few seconds later she led him back to the anemone. We named him Junior. Every time I worked in the tank without exception I'd be bitten. Great.

Go to the local farm/ranch store and get some calving gloves that the farmers use when assisting the cows when giving birth. They are a cheap, and disposable and go all the way to the shoulder. A box of 100 is $10.

I have the same problem but my pair of picassos are still pretty young right now so its just annoying. I frequently buy a box of blue nylon (Non powdered) gloves from Harbor freight for various reasons so I may start using them. Theyre like $7 for a 100 pack.
