If They Choose To, Then It Will Happen

The hawkfish is one of the few species on this list that changes out of desire and not because it happens on its own. They start out as female but can switch to male if the conditions call for it.
Usually, this only happens when the male leader gets ahead of himself and takes on too many females. Thus leaving the largest female in the group to turn male and take half of the ladies with him.
