I saw this posted on RC and thought it was worth sharing here. Of course, the accompanying photo gallery is fantastic!

"In the wild, where grouper or moray eels threaten, clownfish rarely live past seven to ten years, but in the safety of captivity they can go much longer. My neighbor keeps a spry 25-year-old, which used to bite my knuckles when I cleaned out his reef tank years ago as a kid."
