Funny Little Clown

[bigdog0598]

Every time i feed the tank with a turkey baster my smaller clown goes crazy and trying to attack the baster! He even splashes the top of the water and one time jump right out of the tank hahah.....crazy little fish! Anyone else have a crazy clown?

It might not be attacking the baster, but associating it with food & that's why it goes crazy. I know my b/w occi pair do. & when I feed their sebae anemone, or clean too close to it, they'll sometimes swat me with their tails, but they don't bite...They aren't called clownfish for nothing...

yea i have a pair of blk ocellaris that if i put my hand in to move the rock work around they nip at my fingers. even on rock that isnt where they "live". its pretty funny, as soon as i put my hand in they go after it and see what im gonna do.

They often whack my hand with their tail whenever I rearrange rocks near their GBTA. Sometimes they do the same with the turkey baster.

My black/white male occelairs is the aggressive one. I put my hand in to move rock and he goes after it. than i chase him away and he comes right back at my hand all the way until its out of the water

My female B/W does that too. She always seems so proud of herself too once I pull my hand out . She sort of struts over to the male as if she just won the Heavy Weight Title
