    My female clown is constantly attacking my hand tonight, i keep on having to remove nerites off my skimmer, each time she just aggressivly attacks my hand, it was cool though i got my hand cleaned by my cleaner shrimp and was attacked by my clown at the same time.

    She is also very protective over the area, she attacked the male clown and she because aggressive towards the cleaner shrimp that went around the area that she's hovering over.

    This is not her like her to attack my hand, i do not see eggs though.

    I think there is a strong possibility that there is eggs though, so i shall wait and see

    I have a single tomato clown and a single ocellaris clown. They both attack my hand especially the tomato when my hand gets close to its nem. They are not a mated pair so there is no chance of eggs but they are still very protective of their territories.

    My tomato clown even attacks the circle the flashlight makes on the glass when I'm peeping on the tank at night. It's pretty funny actually.

    I hope you have eggs in your tank but just because they are aggressive doesn't mean you have eggs.
