I’m saving this one for the CF.Com museum.
Why are you saving it for the museum .? Many reef species change sex, including grouper. I was watching a PBS deal and they were showing those giant Napoleon Wrasses that go back and forth as needed. Just thought it to be an interesting topinc. Go back to The Bachelor if you think it’s a silly question. I will go straight to Google next time rather than try and start a discussion.

If I recall correctly, ARS are born 50% male/family ratio, and start to become sexually mature around 2 years old. The older they get the more eggs they produce up to a certain point. They sort of max out in length and just get older. Hard to tell the difference between a 10 year old and a 40 year old unless you look at the ear bones (otolith).
Also, they do not make good targets for commercial aquaculture because it would cost more to feed them to maturity than you would get from market value which would result in a net loss.
