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:

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

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

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.

That was one of my very first SPS pieces.

I still have a pink birdsnest that I got from Shao (smokinreefer) about 7 years ago, I believe he had it a long time as well.
