They can change sex! In a group, the largest and most aggressive is always a female and there's only one "functional" male. All the others are "neutral", neither male or female. If the male dies, the next largest & most aggressive becomes the "functional male". If the female dies, the male changes gender and becomes a female and the next in line becomes the "functional male". Disney never talked about this in "Nemo"!

They are salt water fish, I hear salt water tanks are no fun to maintain, but I just think they are the coolest looking fish!

They are the cockroaches of the ocean. They can take a lot of stress and survive.
