Seriously Aggressive Clown

I have a percula clown who is REALLY aggressive, but not to the other tank inhabitants, but to me. If I put my hand in the tank (to move a rock, put a turbo snail back on its foot, etc) she will chase my hand around. Fortunately I've never been bit, but I feel like that is coming.
Is it possible that she is close to laying eggs and she is being really territorial. This is new behavior as of maybe a week and a half ago. Before she stayed away.
 
Mine does that i dont think it means she is close to laying eggs. You are lucky you dont get bit yet mine likes to bite the skin between the fingers and let me tell you it hurts. I think they just get territorial over there tank.
 
You just have an ankle biter, it's normal.
I'll trade you a female GSM and Tomato any day. The Tomato hits with such force, she actually jumped out of the tank trying to chomp my hand. Lucky catch by me for P&V (her nickname Pi$$ & Vinegar since she's full of it).

I thought adding some green chromis would add some appeal to the Tomato pairs SPS DT, wrong! The female picked off each chromis over a 4 week period.

Doesn't matter the clown species, they all have this territorial nature just to different degrees.
