The strongest MALE becomes female, to be clear.

Anemonefish are protandrous sequential hermaphrodites, meaning they develop into males first, and when they mature, they become females. If the female anemonefish is removed from the group, such as by death, one of the largest and most dominant males becomes a female

In what sense was that not clear

I'm not sure but the part I'm still wondering is if you remove the female fish, and then some time later added it back does the second fish stop laying eggs and become the male again, or do they just fight to the death

This sounds like the start of a great prequel to Finding Nemo

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

An epic tale of a fish named Nemo finding out who they are, and then being forced back into a subservient masculine role. As a Broadway musical.

A bit weird but id probably still watch it.

My less-than-normal thinking was Nemo's mom left, another Clownfish became female, then Nemo's mom returns and is like, "BITCH THIS MY HOOD."

That's how Nemo lost their mom, she just wasn't as tough as she thought.

My thinking is that the barracuda fish was Marlin's actual wife. Marlin started cheating on her when his best friend Steve the clown fish became a she. The barracuda found him and this new clown fish lady together and entered a bloody rage. That's my way-less-than-normal thinking.

Since Steve got ripped to shreds, Marlin becomes female and they live happily ever after as wife and wife? So wholesome, I dig it.
