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.

I recently managed to kill a few of my oldest corals...but I still have pieces/colonies that came from my first tank over 10 years ago.

I've had my green carpet anemone almost 7 years now.

My oldest fish at the moment is my female Maroon clown who I've had for only 4 years. My previous best were a yellow tail damsel (13 years) and a convict damsel (12 years).

While I keep documentation on when fish were added, I've not been so careful documenting coral additions. I was surprised to find photos of existing corals dated 1998. While you might think these corals would be huge, they spent a long time in a very small tank and only small fragments of these were transferred to the new tank.

Although now gone from an infection, my bubble coral was around 12yrs. old. My percs are around 6 yrs. old now.
