@GremlinsAndGnomes They can't fertilize their own eggs. Their entire physiology changes, so they are one gender or the other, not hermaphrodites. (some animals like seastars can fertilize their own eggs, but for the sake of genetic diversity prefer not to if there is any other option available.)

@GremlinsAndGnomes Nope. Hermaphroditism is pretty common in nature; self-fertilization is not. (The main purpose of sex is to create genetic variety, so fertilizing yourself is quite a waste compared to cloning yourself by other means. Germ cells cost a lot of energy.)
5/5, by the way, but I'm a biologist so I always feel like I'm cheating on nature-related ToFs.

5/5. Does that mean a female clown fish can fertilize her own eggs?
