How old is your oldest acro?

[Oregon Grown Reef]

Hello SPS enthusiasts. I've seen some beautiful tanks and corals on this site, but something that isn't discussed often is how long people are able to keep their acros alive for. How old is your oldest acro? Any tips for getting them to stay alive long term?

I too am interested in this - Currently my oldest and only acro is 2 weeks old but showing growth already.

Nobody?

Bump. I want to see what the longest someone has kept a single acro. This doesn't have to be a colony. A frag taken from the same acro colony and regrown counts.

I'm sure others have older ones but these are my colonies close to 2 years. Taken from single frag from LFS so I dunno how old their colony is. If you look are my build thread from 2020-2021 you can see them on the same rock as stubby single frags. No secret ingredient. Just keep things stable, have a good light thats 300 to 400 par, and have good nutrient level and fish poop. I don't specifically feed them, but have noticed faster growth when I dosed amino and phyto

Here’s my aquarium after 2 years. Almost all acros were started from small frags.

Tricolor valida
Early 2016
And July this year.
I have moved this several times, fragged it.
This is about 1/3 that you can see, it goes down the back of the rock.
