How long will a Sohal live ?

[antesco]

Would anyone please happen to know, how long a Sohal Tang might live in the wild and/or in a Tank ?

Thank you.

Likely around 15 years in the wild. Depends on the tank.

I wouldn't be surprised if, under absolutely ideal circumstances, it could be even longer than that. I would bet it could be as much as 20 years or more.

Nobody knows.

If healthy, aquarium specimen should live up to 10-15 years.
