wow that is awesome! Congrats on the new babies! I had a huge tomato clown when I had my other sw tank. That guy was so mean..i swear he watched and waited for me to open the lid.  He was always in his anemone and when I had to put my hands in the tank for maintenance or cleaning, he would attack me relentlessly.  It never hurt but it sure scared me half to death! ]]> Sun, 05 Oct 2003 21:37:16 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=9066&title=mean-tomato-clown#9066 <![CDATA[Mean Tomato Clown : I have a Huma Trigger that the...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=7493&title=mean-tomato-clown#7493 Author: bhaight

I have a Huma Trigger that the first time I added rock to the tank after I had added him he bit me. He tried a couple more times so I caught him in a net and held him there while I finished my work then let him go. Now when I do something in the tank he'll just watch me closely but won't try to supplement his diet with my flesh anymore. ]]> Tue, 26 Aug 2003 21:15:52 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=7493&title=mean-tomato-clown#7493 <![CDATA[Mean Tomato Clown : I&#039;v got a percula that hides...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=5609&title=mean-tomato-clown#5609 Author: mdawson8931

I'v got a percula that hides in the xenia it staked out. doesnt even come out to feed. Just waits until something floats past its nose. bugs the crap out of me but what can you do? Been debating on getting a second one and seeing if that will do any good.]]> Tue, 15 Jul 2003 13:37:46 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=5609&title=mean-tomato-clown#5609 <![CDATA[Mean Tomato Clown : After I saw the eggs, I think...]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=5465&title=mean-tomato-clown#5465 Author: rfoote

After I saw the eggs, I think I will shy away from the flicking idea.

Right on!  I am still trying to get my tomato clowns to mate, after about 4 months, she finally accepted her mate.  But it seems like a platonic relationship so far.

Are you still planning on flicking her?  She's just a mom protecting her babies.

Well thats good to know.  I wasn't overly concerned, I've heard this about them before.  I'll try flicking it to see if that doesn't scare it off a little.  Its not that I really mind, but between it and my fire shrimp my arm ends up bruised up everytime I do a water change/cleaning jumping and hitting something.(Just Joking).

Happy 4th!

I would consider that a good thing.  At least he/she is not hiding behind the rocks all the time.  I agree with the others that maybe they are about to spawn.  I think aggression shows a healthy fish.  If they wre always scared and never came out, then what fun would that be.]]> Fri, 04 Jul 2003 08:46:34 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=5259&title=mean-tomato-clown#5259 <![CDATA[Mean Tomato Clown : This is normal for clown fish....]]> http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=5257&title=mean-tomato-clown#5257 Author: ewaldsreef

 This is normal for clown fish. I have been bit many a time from mine. The first time scared me and made me jump. Its actually kind of funy. ]]> Fri, 04 Jul 2003 07:24:49 +0000 http://www.utahreefs.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=696&PID=5257&title=mean-tomato-clown#5257
