How long do oscellaris clowns live?

[JT101]

My second clownfish died last night. It was the mated pair to the female which died earlier this year.

This one was 7 years old.

Is that a long time for a clown kept in a reef tank?

Some have made it to 13 years in captivity. In the ocean maybe 7 or 8. Your fish lived a full life.
