Clowns that don't change sex??

[tipinover]

I was told today that there is a species of Clowns that do not change sex. Can this be true?? If so, does anyone know the species of Clowns??? Thanks

That's a new one on me.

Clownfish as well as most spieces of damselfish are hermaphrodites, as in they have the ability to go from sexless juveniles to either male or female.

Thanks to both of you. We were in heavy doubt that this could be true but came from what we thought might have been a reliable source! Guess not too reliable!!

Technically there is a type of clownfish that will not change it's sex and that is a female clownfish. A male can change to female but not the other way around. But as far as a species, clownfish are all Protandrous Hermaphrodites.

Wow. That is a very interesting way to look at it, so I guess technically it is correct. I will pass this along!!!
