Mine did that EVERY day I had it... AND it would bite me every time I put my hand in the tank. I just got used to picking up corals on a daily basis when I left for and got home from work. Maroon clowns just can't stand anything being within 12" of their precious (anemone). Even reef putty is no match for a maroon clown. Funny the first time.. annoying as can be the 1200th time.
lol I too had to learn the hard way that anything that isn't super super glued down is fair game. I would be plucking frags from my goby's and blenny's caves daily.
Your clown seems adorable though. Even if she is a brat :lipssealedsmilie:
P.S. I like how the falling frag caught the attention of the fish at the end.

That's the new Angel, I just hope she isn't learning bad habits!!!

Luckily it's not every day, just when I've been moving things and she wants to move them to a different place. You're right though - funny the first time - Novelty wears off after a while!!!
They closed up when I started fragging them, then they slowly opened until she knocked them off. the reason I could record her was because that was the fourth time!!! The Zoas are now sat round the other side of the rock and her anemone has moved again, so I'm sure we'll be re-arranging something else later!
My goldstripe maroon does the exact same thing...only because it's right by her anemone. She bites me too, little *******...what happened to don't bite the hand that feeds you
My black occelaris has learned that the only place she can hurt me with her bites is the webbing between my fingers, and it's now the first place she goes for when my hands go in the tank. Smart lil buggers aren't they?
