Coral reefs, rockpools and the seashore, sentence 3

In Finding Nemo Marlin raises Nemo alone after Nemo's mum dies; real clownfish all hatch as males, and when the female of a group dies, the biggest male turns into the new female, so real Marlin would have become Nemo's mum.

Who acts: Marlin, mum, real clownfish, female, biggest male, real Marlin · What happens: find, raise, die, hatch, turn, become · To what, where: Nemo, new female, mum
