Just wait until they learn about anemone fish…
Are those the ones that basically convert based on what potential mates they run into?
Yep. They basically have a social hierarchy where the dominant fish in a group is female. If the alpha female dies, then another female may become alpha, or a male will switch and become the alpha female. There are actually quite a few species where gender isn’t determined solely by genetics. So essentially when Coral died, in reality Marlin would’ve changed to a female. Just imagine the reaction of the conservatives had they been more scientifically accurate in that movie…
If a male clownfish’s mate dies, the male will change sex and mate with its offspring to continue the family line.
Presumably why Marlin was so desperate to find Nemo.
