    dominos are the worst. he earned his title (son of a b) when ever i stick my hand in the aquarium no matter where he goes hide in the rocks and out of nowhere he comes and bang his head against my hand. i almost fell of the stool last time i was adding corals.

    My old roommate had a clown that would draw blood on him. It would come from across the tank and hit his hand hard enough that the fish would be dazed for a second after that, and leave a small puncture wound. Not really a bad one but enough that he almost broke his light pulling his arm out of the tank one time.
    I had a citron clown goby that would sit on my hand if I held still for a while, very nice fish.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Once upon a time I was scuba diving. The current was strong and I was last in line and trying desperately to keep up. My bouyancy device clips failed and the air tank began to float above my head, not good at 80 feet down and in a current.

    All I could do was grab a hold of something and fix the problem or wait for help.

    I choose a nice big rock to grab on to. While fighting to remain calm and fix a problem a large domino damsel decided it was not acceptable to hold on to his rock. He began to bite me repeatedly, especially my hand. All I could think was please, I am dying here and you are going attack me now, give me a freakin break!!!!!!!!

    Needless to say domino damsels do not hold a pleasent place in my heart.

    And clownfish, I have to remove my female each time I work on the tank. Takes about 1 min because she is too busy attacking the container.
