Attacked by a vicious fish

[~Flighty~]

I was moving some frags around today and one of my fish attacked my hand. Female clown with eggs about to hatch? Nope. Venomous rabbit fish with the sharp pointy teeth? Nope.

It was my lawnmower blenny Do they normally attack people? Five or six times he swam up and bit me. What is the deal with that? It didn't hurt or anything, it was just so strange and unexpected.

you didn't by any chance have any algae attached to your hand,,,did you?

my blenny attacks my tang all day long.

I had no idea they could be agressive like that. It was very funny.

My lawnmower blenny use to attack my hand anytime I would move rocks around. Or if he was hungy, i could never decide.

He's probably just rabid like mad racoon. You should get checked by your doctor.

The Red Sea Sohol tang I got from Gustavo does this all the time to me. Doesn't hurt, just spooks me when I'm not expecting it.

I have plenty of MH burns on my forearm from when my female perc would attack me. She even got good enough to KNOW to get me in between the fingers, in the soft spots. She'd leave little "Hickeys" everywhere on my hands.

My bicolor has recently started biting me when I get near his "home" in one of the rocks.

I would expect it from the clowns tho.....
