Right well if we're talking Bitey things then I can offer you my experiences.
The orange one is a LOT harder to annoy than the yellow one. Poke the orange one about and it will try tohide rather than fight. Back it into a corner and it will rear up - it will strike if you don't go away.
The yellow one is easily provoked. If you go near it while it's in threat pose it WILL attack the tongs - last night it jumped clear out of the floor and a good few inches into the air, grabbed the tongs, let go and ran up the side of the tank in under a second. No, I'm not exaggerating. Lightnight is slow compared to these.
The orange one needs to be poked and prodded for an awfully long time before it goes mental, but when it does it's spectacular. It literally bounces itself off the floor, it can get nearly as high as the top of the tank (9") - It acts like someone plugged it into the mains.
But all the time you don't disturb it, it won't disturb you.
