Oldest Coral

[reefermadness]

I've still got a few sps from 6yrs ago or more. I aquired them from local sps nut back then and im sure he kept them for a few years at least as well. I also have corals such as tyree purple monster that come from the original colony imported over 12yrs ago...if you think of it that way.

Ya, I guess if it's got the lineage, it counts as old

Its really cool to hear another story of survival other than just fish. When you think about it, corals that are this old have probably been feeding the hobby for years and will continue to for years to come. Good success stories.

My oldest corals are 9 months old now, about the same age as our tank minus the start up cycle time. A frogspawn, some zoas, a hammer coral and some other softies/LPS. We have some of the initial livestock too, which is nice. I hope I still have them a few years down the road.

There are many corals kicking around Toronto over 10 years old, I am in the process of getting some of them back from people that got frags off me!
