When a female clownfish dies, the breeding male (now the biggest fish in the school) will turn into a female. The fish will experience biological and psychological changes over several weeks to become a female. She will then mate with the current biggest male and produce hundreds of offspring. This process of changing sex is known as sexual
Although there are no external characteristics to differentiate male and female, all clownfish are sexually immature when hatched. Meaning that the fry do not have a pre-determined sex, and develop into males and females depending on the hierarchy of the school. A pair will lay eggs along the base of the host anemone, using it to protect the eggs.
Clownfish form symbiotic relationships with sea anemones, which protect them from predators. In return, the anemonefish cleans and maintain the tentacles of the anemone, ensuring it remains healthy and safe. Clownfish are a type of fish that are born male but can become female if there aren’t enough dominant females around.
T Dog then goes on to show a clownfish and explain how their leader is always female, and how a male fish can change into a female. The puppet then shows a kobudai and explains how when a female reaches a certain age, over a period of a few months, they can turn into a male fish.
