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..

I have two green rhodactis mushrooms from my original tank back before I joined Canreef. These have survived being moved between at least 8 different tanks over the last 9 years+. Just switched them from the main 165g reef to my RSM 130 Bangaii breeding tank/softie reef.

Not nearly as impressive as you guys, but I still have my 2 of 3 of my first corals I bought in August last year. Metallic green bubble and button corals. Both have doubled in size and my bubble coral is what got me hooked on reefing. Hope I can say I still have it in 10 years I lost my wall frogspawn a month ago, that was the 3rd, I bought them all at the same time.

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.

Just a common green wall hammer,but it's who i recieved it from,that's made me keep it..going on 7 years.

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

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!
