If they decide to become the dominant female. Clownfish communities live in a harem led by a female dominant and a male dominant with all the lesser fish being male fish. If there isnt a female dominant, a male fish will turn female to become the female dominant.
Marlin from Finding Nemo shouldve become Marilyn. Damn, nature.
Also in emergencies theyll resort to incest.

A lot of fish can change gender on the fly (once in their life, I believe).

Bruh. Imagine a premise like this with humans.

Yes, it depends on the breeding grounds and if one gender of fish heavily outweighs another for the purpose of reproduction. It's really interesting stuff.

Apparently clownfish prevent inbreeding by being repelled by their parents smell. No wonder Nemo wanted to leave so bad.

I use to have these things call Convicts and brothers and sisters would mate. I wonder if that happens with clown fish .

What happened to your fish? I remember having a lot of aquarium discussions with you, I remember you talking about your convicts and them breeding.

I looked it up and found this from a shoujo 4 panel comic.

https://orenchi-no-furo-jijou.fandom.com/wiki/Makara

He switches sex to be the opposite of whatever human hes closest to which isnt that accurate since female clownfish dont change back but A for effort.

Also, its the male dominant that becomes the female while the strongest lesser male becomes the new male dominant.

Thanks for remembering, you helped me out a lot. I gave them to my mother and some how they kept dying in her tank. We checked the water and everything and we still don't know what happen. So I tried to save a few and I put them in with my baby turtle. Let's just say it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Now all I have left is a random cichlid that I can't ID and 8 inch Pleco, but he lives my older turtles just fine.

But you can't change gender, a bunch of transphobes who didn't even pass middle school science told me so!
