The California sheepshead can change gender. It also sleeps in a cocoon made of mucus, for protection.

I feel like I’m going to spend the wrasse of my life being jealous of it. (It is actually a wrasse)

“A tube anemone has a built in escape route. A tube anemone can disappear into its home in the blink of an eye. Its tube can be two feet long and serves as a quick escape route and an anchor in the constantly shifting sand.“

Cool, but can anemone hear me?
