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!

Hi there, new to the forum, not the hobby. I have been Reefing for almost 8 years now. I have a few corals from the get go still. GSP, Orange Monti Cap, Purple Tip Monti Digi and Candy Cane coral. I have grown all these from 1 inch frags.

I've had my hammer coral now for almost 20 years. If I had not fragged it so many times, I can't even imagine how large it would be.
