Blackside Hawkfishes, like others of its kin, are predators that hang out waiting for prey to pass by. I have often seen the waiting part, but never seen one go after anything.
Also, according to my fish book, ‘Hawkfishes live in haremic social groups consisting of a male and several females. When the male dies, the dominant female changes sex and takes his place.’ Which begs the question, when is Trump going to do something about these kinds of scandalous activities?

I can see people are cautious of responding. The hawkish have a very sensible solution to a possible problem. I’m curious about the numbers of males that are spawned, to warrant such an ability in the females.

I believe all Hawkfishes start out as females and are able to change sex to suit the situation. There are quite a few other fish species that do the same thing. It makes sense and presumably genetic issues aren’t the same as there would be with humans.
