Default Ouch!!!

I have a tiny osc. clown in my tank that literally swarms around my hands when they're in the tank. While he is tiny, he has a ferocious bite, and yes I said BITE. It is similar to a bee sting without the venom.
I was wondering if anyone else had any experiences with nippy fish of any size in their aquaria.

When it comes to clown fish the Ocy is very gentle, put your hand in with a Maroon Clown and you will know what biting is. Mine attachs my hand every time it goes in the tank and I do mean attach she even hits my mag float and I swear I can even feel it when she does.

Exactly Scott! I was reading that post and thinking... sheesh I remember my old Maroon Clown and how that fish would bite! And then I saw your post mentioning the same thing!
+1 for Maroon Clown, they are biters!

I dread the thoughts of her cheek spine getting big enough to get me good.
