while I was eating it!

 

LMAO Mine does it, but normally he chows through the food in my hand, and moves on to my hand

clowns are pretty bold fish. Most fish, over time, will become less fearfull of the hand in the tank. It makes cleaning the tank a bit more fun when they start nipping at your fingers.

 

Not as fun when the tank is a predator tank. Moray eel bites hurt.
