This means they produce both sex cells in their body at the same time. In a pair of these fish, one individual will produce eggs and the other the sperm. After a few minutes, they switch roles.</p> <p>Bluntheaded wrasse, however, are sequential hermaphrodites. This means that they produce the different sex cells at different life stages.
