Default Clown attacking magnet

I have what I think is a Clarki or Seabae clown, he's about 3 or 4 inches long. The last couple weeks he has started attacking the magfloat when I clean the glass. Anyone know what he's up to?

Doesn't know what it is, so wants to show he's the big boss of the tank.

Clown fish can be very territorial, this isn't anything out of the ordinary.

Clowns get that way. I have a tomato clown that attacks anything (scraper, hands, fish, magfloat, toothbrush, etc...) that comes within 6+" of it's host anemone. It makes me jump every time it gets my hand, but it has yet to draw blood.
