Clownfish can survive in the wild for about 8 years and in captivity for up to 12 years. Surprisingly, all clownfish are born male. They can change their gender, but will only do so to become the dominant female in a community. The alteration is irreversible. She keeps the dominant male from becoming a woman, while he keeps the juveniles from becoming adult men. If the female of the mating pair dies, the male changes into a female and develops rapidly in size. Normally, the breeding male is the next largest male.
