That is great when they take food right out of you hand, I can hand feed my 2 clowns, and just wait I don't know how long you had them but when I clean my tank out they bite me protecting there territory, it's funny it pinches a little and I yell at them LOL like that does any good. Clowns have a great personality and you will love them. Keep us posted and send some pictures.
I can feed my perc by hand as well. He is a funny little guy, when I feed Cyclops Eeze I used a little round tupperware container to get tank water, and when I dip it in to get the water he actually swims into it, so cute. One of my chromis does the same thing. I need to have my wife take a pic of it when it happens.
That's great he's feeding from your hand!!
I have some chromis that will jump out of the water to get food before my hand ever makes it into the tank!

just make sure your hands are good and clean, but also make sure that there is no leftover soap or cleaning agents on them as well. 8). Cool stuff... i have a trigger fish that will eat out of my hand.. but im a bit scared to let him haha.
I also have a black ghost knife (freshwater) who will hand feed, its really cool when they do, makes you feel bonded 8).

I have a friend that had a niger trigger that went blind, his wife hand fed him every night for a year, it finally died about a week ago.
Currently, all but my blennys eat out of my hand. When I put a cube in my 2 maroon clowns and 5 random damsels all swim up and eat from my hand.
My Hippo won't eat from my hand, but he is super aggressive when it comes to feeding, he has bitten me before trying to get at food. He always seems to know though when I am trying to hand feed, because he won't approach, but if I am just casually putting in the food, he has bitten me before.
My Hippo is crazy though about food, he eats so much that as he eats he is doing his business if you know what I mean, as if he is making room, HA HA. I have to spread the food out all across the tank so that the other fish have a chance!

I have a true perc that is starting to tenatively eat out of my hand. My False perc is a pig and almost jumps into the small container I use to thaw their food.. He sees that white above the tank and he's zoooommmin' to the top.. Its quite funny.. He almost wags his fins like a dog happy to see its master.. But I know he only loves me for the food...
