An Unpleasant First makes for a Crappy Monday

you have to remember alot of these fish are wild caught. Clownfish and even angels can stay small their whole lives.

With dwarf angels the females stay 1/3 or 1/2 the size of a male so you may have gotten an older female who turned male in your tank and then passed 2 years later. Meanwhile its lived 10 or 15 years on the reef before you seen it.
