BobbyV mentioned having a super aggressive maroon clown in another thread earlier. That made me think of what my misbar gold stripe maroon did to me back in December. Thought I'd share. She has been with me for years, maybe 7ish? Here she is just recently:

She attacks me and bites me whenever I'm working on her half of the tank. Most of the time I'll do whatever I can to try and avoid it. Slightly ashamed to admit it, but I've had a few accidental fraggings and broken pieces off of a few sps after being startled by bites in the past. Sometimes I'll try to keep a net between her and my hand. Doing a cleaning last December, I just decided "eh, screw it, whats the worst she'll do to me" and didn't move out of the way or use a shield. I just kept syphoning the sand bed and let her bite at me, which she did a number of times.
Here's what my hand looked like 30seconds after I pulled it out of the water. I was shocked:

Needless to say, she's no joke! Haha!
