Welcome to marine aquaria. This pretty much applies to anything and everything that you put in your tank. Fish, Corals, inverts, they can be healthy for months or a year and then just pack it in and call it quits for no apparent reason whatsoever.

Maybe your fish was just old! Since it was from the wild you have no idea how old she was. She could have been quite advanced in her age already by the time she got into your tank.

p.s. sorry for the loss.

Thanks Kien. The posts have let my fear of some outbreaks have gone. I guess its just part of natural process.

There's also an inherent disease in bangaiis that may have caused it
