Researchers believe they have solved the puzzle of three seemingly different fish, one all males, one all females and one all juveniles. They're the same fish, and undergo remarkable changes as they mature. "You can imagine it was a pretty exciting discovery," said G. David Johnson, an ichthyologist at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History. "The pieces kept falling into place."

Awesome. Thanks for posting, I like to read that sort of stuff.

That has happened in the past many times. Scientist will think two fish are completely different and may even occupy two completely different niches, only to find out it is the same animal at different stages in its life cycle.
