thats right all anglers are female the males fuse to them and even use there blood stream to get food
and pipe fish dont the males "give birth " or more lik carry the babies till they hatch ?wow you guys with your mating habbits
jellies let the eggs float off somewhere and then i grow lik a coral and propagate and everything then remove my self from the rock and do my jelly floaty thing

well... the pipefish have like two flaps of skin, and the female produces the eggs and places a long string of eggs in the middle of these flaps, and then the male folds the flap together, continue till the end of the gestation period... Know all cnidarians are polyps at some time in their life... I'll just talk about those that end up as "jellyfish"... the children are free FLOATING , then when they land, they grow for a while, and this is when they are polyps, then when they reach a certain age, they detach from wherever they were attached , and they become free SWIMING, this is called the medusa, when they mate, the females release the eggs into the water, and the males release the sperm, these --- cells meet somewhere in the water column, where they mature into the free FLOATING stage,...

(everyone be sure to understand this is just the deep sea variety not the ones we keep in our tank varieties) well see up until a certain point they are identical, and they are very small, then they become sexually mature, and the female gets MUCH BIGGER, and the male get this new row of special teeth. When a male finds a female, he literally attaches to her with his teeth, his whole system eventually fusing with the females. They do this because it is very hard to find a mate in the dark, so this way they need only meet once. Many females have beeen found w/ lots of males on them.
Does that explain it? I am not to good at explaining. LOL
