    Anyone had this happen? My lawnmower blenny bit me hard enough to break the skin. It hurt! He nips me everytime I stick my hand in there but this was a bite. Ok, you can laugh, but it really did hurt!

    Yup. My maroon clown will go after me and try to take my hand off every time I go near his anenome. Once he gets bigger, I will have to wear gloves.

    Just tell me I'm not gonna die and I'll be fine. That lawnmower has fangs! There could be poison in there! My husband said I screamed like a little girl:-/

    LOL, I thought I was the only one with a PITA fish. I have a Jeweled Damsel thats about 4 inches now and every time I stick my hand in the tank he bits me, it doesn't hunt it just scares the crap out of me every time. That was until the other day he bit me and drew blood! He now lives in my sump until I can find the time to take him to the pet store.

    Wow-all the blood fish are coming out tonight. I had never heard of a fish drawing blood til now. Mine was just a pin ***** and he never hurts anyone in the tank but he sure doesn't like my hand-ever!
