:In 1978 Moyer and Nakazono showed ''Centropyge interruptus'' to be a protogynous hermaphrodite - in other words, they enter the world without a sex. As they mature, they first take on the female sex organs. Similar to other protogynous hermaphrodites, the male is the result of a dominant female that has undergone a sex change due largely to a male that has either died or disappeared in some manner.<ref>[http://www.reefkeeping.com/issues/2003-02/hcs3/index.php Reefkeeping.com] What a Darling Little Angel: The Genus Centropyge</ref> | :In 1978 Moyer and Nakazono showed ''Centropyge interruptus'' to be a protogynous hermaphrodite - in other words, they enter the world without a sex.
