<sod>Like many fish, this species can change sex. A [[Dominance (ethology)|dominant]] male keeps a [[harem]] of several females. If a harem becomes too large, one of the females may become a male and take on part of the harem as a dominant male. What makes this species unusual is that the new male may revert to the female sex if challenged by a more powerful male. A male can become a female and successfully breed, laying fertile eggs.<ref name=whyte>Whyte, C.
