Clowns

[chuck]

I think the pair of clowns I got from Liam have decided that my hand is the enemy of the tank. When I was feeding last night(spot feeding with turkey baster) the smaller one decided to attack the turkey baster and my hand the entire time.

It was actually really funny, except when I thought it had calmed down, and I had turned to say something to someone and all of a sudden I felt it hit my hand again, which made me jump, which sent saltwater and Mysis flying all over the room.

Oh, I am thinking of keeping this tank to basically FOWLR... keeping the few mushrooms and zoos I have... how would a porcupine puffer do? I have two clowns, a lawnmower blenny, and a firefish... would that be overboard?

It is a 75 gallon tank...

Do you have a host anemone in there? Mine attack my hand if I get to close to their BTA.

Deb's tomato clowns attack me constantly. I have to have Deb use the baster or some other object to draw their attention so I can work in the tank.
