Clownfish : Friend or Foe


So those cute little clownfish we all have are they "Cute Little Angels" or "Devils in Disguise"?

Mine go after me all the time and a Tomato Clown went after YLChik while she was picking out Ricordia.

I've got to go with Devils,.. Mine attack me whenever I get near their leather,... Despite the "Cute" appearance,.. and "Goofy" swimming style, when they want to there fast as a dart, and have no fear!

Evil fish!

Agreed! When they attack they can dart a good distance and be back where they started from before you can blink your eyes!

And it's not like it really hurts that much,.. but it always surprises you,.. then you flail and knock over rocks, break coral, put your elbow into lights whatever.

In the end it's never good.

Really! I've never had one big enough to pull that off, but me jumping from getting bit has drawn blood before.

You should have seen the battle that ensued after I added a 3/4" Onyx to the tank. Talk about child abuse!
