How old is your oldest coral?
 

I thought this had been done before?? I just tried searching though and couldn't come up with it.

Poll doesn't include anything non-coral like fish, anemones, clams, etc. This includes corals you no longer have!

I have a pink pocillipora damicornis that I got from Brad (Aquattro) and he mentioned that it was over 10 years old, I've had it for about 3-4 years (maybe more, I can't remember when I got it) and he had it several years before that.

Its at the bottom of this photo:

Very cool Christy!! :)

I clicked to make the results public who voted for what, but it never works for me. Don't know why.

It worked, you just have to click on the number, and it says who voted what.:wink:

Ohhhh... *smacks forehead*

I voted 7-8yrs but it's wrong, I have mushrooms that go back 9-10yrs and toadstools from a mother colony that I got 9yrs ago.
My oldest hard coral (fox coral) is 8yrs :mrgreen:

My oldest is my bubble coral, 17 years this year and still growing.

I voted lower, but I guess I do have a mushroom colony that I tried to kill multiple times (even blow-torched the LR out of the tank, serious!) and it is pushing 9 years old.

Nothing kills Kenya Tree... My first coral and I still have bits of it everywhere!

I voted 7-8 years even though I've only been in the hobby for about 6. :lol:
This is due to my purple, green & orange monti caps, which I've had since close to the start. I bought them as frags from a local reefer who I assume had them for at least a year before me, judging by the size of the mother colonies. They very well could be much older than I give them credit, but unless "Canadian Man" comes back to tell me how old they are, I'll never really know.
