Default Oldest Coral
I was talking to Jason (Jaws) today about having any of my original corals still, and the one piece I've managed to save over the years is a really nice pink birdsnest. I almost lost the whole thing about 3 years ago, but managed to save a bit the size of a peanut and grow it out again.
I guess I've had this about 8 years now (originally from Shao/Smokinreefer).

What's your oldest piece?

My Pocillipora damicornis which I do believe I got from you. I've had it for at least 6 years and I don't know how long you had it before me. I think the last time we talked about it we figured it was well over 10 years old

Yup, I'd guess about 10 yrs for that piece!

I have a green milli that I got from MilliporaManiac nearly 4 years ago now. That think has been to hell and back but is still one of my biggest, nicest colonies.

It's nice to get that uninterrupted growth, the colonies look amazing. My PBN almost vanished a couple of times, so it's still only the size of a grapefruit..

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.
