    well. thats not much less than what I delt with my last Ocellaris. Every single time I put my hand in the tank she bit my hand. and that was without a host. assuming a maroon maybe more aggressive than this, I never felt physically in danger as the bite always just felt like someone flicking my finger. I will just have to where gloves...because...I want one of these fish!!

    Its not the bite necessarily although that can pinch.lol There have a large spine on there gill flap.They are actually known as a Spine Cheek Anemone fish for that reason.The spine gets larger as they age.Homey would rarely try to spike me in his later years but he got me good plenty of times.
