Issuing correction on a previous post: you do not, under any circumstances, gotta…
My favorite sequential hermaphrodite is the slipper limpet snail:
The slipper limpet normally lives in stacks of up to 12 individuals, with the largest at the bottom and with increasingly smaller individuals stacked on top of one another. The largest and oldest animals, at the base of a pile are female, the younger and smaller animals at the top are male. If the females in the stack die, the largest of the males will become a female.
