What fish has bitten you

[ezhoops]

I'm sure at some point or another we have all been bitten, spiked, scraped, or chewed by our inhabitants.
Here are a few of my common offenders.

Female Breeding A. Ocellaris

Male Cirrhilabrus rubrisquamis

This girl is all bad!

This girl is all bad!

My female Melanopus clown is a real b.t.h. The entire 125g tank is her domain. She is a healthy 5".

Not a bite, but my Blonde Naso "scalpeled" me once (and did the same to a good friend). Does that count, or should I go stick my hand in my clowns' anemone to join the club?

Can I count getting nipped by a very large Picasso Trigger while snorkeling in Guam? That was the only worrisome one.

Funny, I went years without ever being bitten by a fish in any of my tanks. But in the last few months I've been nailed repeatedly by a very ungrateful Royal Gramma and a couple of times by a Starry Blenny that loves to nip and hide.

Quite a few bite my hand looking for food, but the only two that have done it out of agression were my female b&w ocellaris and my royal gramma.

My Clowns are always biting my hands and you think you'd get used to it right.. Wrong this little bas---- always gets me in the most tender parts, Once it jumped up and bit the back of my arm, 4 inches out of the water. Damn

I guess clowns are in the lead and I will add to their count. My black clown and a false percula that I had always bite me when my hand was or is in the tank. The black clown is the only one that has broken skin.

Both of my ocellaris clowns bike me quite regularly.

I was helping a local friend move some fake coral around in his predator tank and a niger got me on the forearm, where the skin is pretty tight. That's the only one that ever broke skin. Scared me more than anything though...

I can't imagine getting bit by a damn moray! NUTS! There's a video I've seen (definitely youtube) where a guy was diving and feeding a 6'+ eel that bit his finger clean off.

My female ocellaris bites me whenever I go to feed her anemone...her mate just hides. My Hippo tang and yellow tang will come right up to my hand and prod me for food but never have attacked me like the clown has.

Tomato clown here.

Queen trigger...always got me no matter how careful...when she got real big- over 10 inches- I had to use egg crate to keep her on one side of the tank, and away from me...yes, she broke the skin...
