I have had my tanks set up for a year and a half and under and have continued to aquire fish over this time. I have lost 2 firefish (jumpers) 3 gobies (dottyback) and one Moorish Idol (killed by Yellow Tang). Most of my fish in my 230g have been there for over a year and like Tom I still have the first 2 fish that I got - blue devil damsel and tomato clown.

Yellow tang - 7+ years
Tomato clown - 7+ years, it was fully mature when I got it, so I expect it is at least 10-12 years old

My pink skunk clown is 6yrs, sixline is 4yrs, and I lost two yellow watchmens back at Xmas that were both 7yrs.

As for coral, I have a few pieces that I started with 9 yrs ago which include my candycane, frogspawn, and gorgonians-all have been fragged more times than I can count.
