Fish is being so aggressive, could it be a territory aggression due to possible breeding?
Every time I try too feed the male goes absolutely nuts.
I only have 2 clowns in a 75 gallon so they are very let’s say comfortable lol 2 videos to view.

Video 1:
Shows how aggressive the male is being toward feeding syringe.

Video2:
Trying to show the territorial side of the fish, I put the feeding syringe on the other side shows somewhat interest. Move it on their side of the tank and he goes nutty.

I hate to tell you this, but your clownfish are plotting to kill you. :face-with-tears-of-joy:

Seriously, they're just a**holes.
I have zero problems with mine. He tried once to get uppity with me when I was cleaning and I popped him in the beak with my clownfish alignment tool.

Clownfish do this, it’s because they have territory they protect (even when not breeding). Just wait until your female goes and gets all annoyed.

I threaten my female with ‘the bucket’ if I have to move her mushroom rock during a water change.
