I have a tiny clownfish around .75-1 inch that hosts a powerhead and it nips at me when i try to adjust things all the way on the other side of the tank haha it makes me laugh

I tell everyone that sees my tank that there is NOTHING funny about clownfish. I believe that if they were given the chance, they would kill me and everyone I ever cared about

my 5-6 years old female maroon clown would bite my hand if I dare go near it's hideout. it was more aggressive when it was in the anemone there and also gets much more aggressive when eggs are laid. with a marron clown the size of a medium yellow tank that can be very very painfull.
She'll even bite the tolls I use to arrange corals or rocks close to it if I'm not in the mood to get bit or freaked out. that's not the worst yet. any rock or coral that gets added moved or even fed next to its area has to be flipped over. it sometimes take me 10-15 tries even while she's sleeping to rearrange things and she would wake up and flip everything I manipulated. eventually had to epoxy all new additions next to it. the worst experience was when I repositioned most of my corals in the tank, that was hell. she just went fanatic and swam to the lt side of tha tank and started flipping things till she reached the right side. a good feed clamed her down.
with all that having had her since she was a tiny little male for few years and then she lost her female and had to become one and tear the hell of the first potential mate to finally accept one and just spawn for the first time few days ago she's really precious. the interaction of clown and anemones is just priceless the way they will hold food and take it to their host and the way they rybin the anemoen is just priceless.
