Centropyge Lifespans

To those of you who keep dwarf angels, which species do you have and how long have you kept them for? Would like an idea of how long they live in captivity. Thanks.

They’ve never been my strong suit but generally I’ve kept coral beauty’s for about 5 years before it randomly passes away. I’m sure others are much longer

The internet seems to say 5-7 years. That makes me feel better; my Coral Beauty lasted something like 7-8 years until it turned up dead one morning.

How big was it when you got it? Was it a fully grown adult?

Pretty much, yes. Medium size and didn't really grow more.

I see. Thanks for sharing.
