A number of marine fish can not only change sex unidirectional from female to male or, as with anemonefish, from male to female but actually also revert back.
Among those are species of the following genera:
- Gobiidae (Gobies)
- Serranidae
- Cirrhitidae (Hawkfish)
- Pseudochromidae (Dottybacks)
- Labridae (Wrasses)
- Pomacanthidae: Centropyge, Xiphypops (Dwarf and Pygmy Angels), possibly also certain Apolemichthys (trimaculatus)
- Pomacentridae: Dascyllus (Damselfish)
