If you want your world to no longer be the same.

Biologically, Nemo really was important to his father, because the father would have had to change sex and start mating with Nemo in order to continue the lineage. When a female clownfish dies, the male takes her place and changes sex for that purpose. And the next in line takes the male's place. Clownfish are protandrous hermaphrodites. That means they are all born male. But they change sex when the female dies. Moreover, this depends on your social status. The higher you are in the hierarchy, the closer you are to changing sex when the female dies — and then mating with the next male in the hierarchy. Fact-checked; this is also on Wikipedia.
