I had one for well over a year in my reef and it was doing very well. Added a small blueface angel who harassed the majestic until one day the majestic punctured itself badly on a birdsnest colony and died due to the wound.

Stunning specimen you have there Untamed!

Died. A couple of months shy of 8 years in the tank. Cause of death - unknown. No other fish illness or introductions associated with the death.

So sad; even after 8 years... Does anybody know what the life expectancy of a Navarchus angel is?

If Pomacanthus is anything to go by, 10-30 years.
