Almost any cichlid with teeth can draw blood. Or at the very least, a nasty scratch. I know a LFS employee who has been bitten by a 9" Clown trigger. Not cool.

I used to own a pet store, been stung by lion fish (it really, really suxs), bitten by triggers, very large snakes, Nile monitors (they don't let go) numerous rats, mice, damn hamsters with nasty attitudes (these go to the big snakes shortly afterwards. LOL)ect, On my perosnal fish, worse one I ever had was a 12" pollini, he was just damn mean. Drew blood on me, my wife and 2 of my 3 children. I have a huge Bolengerochromis microleptus now I'm very careful with, I'm sure he could take off a finger. Nasty teeth. Ken
I had a full grown gold severum take a nice chunk out of my hand between my thumb and index finger. Hurt like hell! My large jag bit me once, but then I thing she realized what she did and let go.. It didn't hurt nearly as bad as the sev.
how big is your emperor cichlid?!?! Can you post pics?
