    So I was doing a little rearranging in my tank and all of the sudden one of my percs starts persistently attacking my hand.    It's not super painful, but it definitely doesn't feel great.   I guess I have to wear my gloves from now on when I work on the tank because of that little @#$%.

    He's relentless. I think the two of them have officially "hooked up" recently... They used to be the exact same size and now one is noticeably larger. The larger one stays in the anenome while the smaller defends it... But it pretty much attacks me no matter where I am in the tank.

    I have the exact same problem with my pair. It is almost to the point where i am going to set up a tank for them only with there anemone. Can't get rid of them, they are my first two fish ever bought. I just can't do anything with them in the tank w/out them attacting me.

    with some of them it helps if the first thing you do is start chasing them with your hand. or maybe we just need a glove shaped like a giant grouper.
