    I had a blue damsel that would do this to me. I would chase her with my finger and she'd chase me back. A couple of times I flicked her and she'd get mad & turn dark blue & hide for a while. Then when I'd get involved in cleaning, she'd come back after me and get the soft part of my wrist.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    This is my solution. I can not take her drawing blood any longer, nor does she like being whipped out of the water while still attached to my fingers. She will actually jump out of the water to bite me.
