I have had this candycane since last May 2020. Started with 2 heads, this was a couple months ago. I have 4 more heads now. Once my alk and Phos got more stable, it has really taken off, and I see more extensions of the skeleton along with new heads, sorry for the bad pics
Tank is about 18months old now

Hammer started as 3 heads maybe 5 years ago. This is an older pic. It's getting to be the size of a large hand and I had to emergency frag it cuz it fell from the weight where I mounted it.
The other pic was before I fragged it in February or is now the same size and needing to be fragged again. I took an inch of all the way around. Not the oldest maybe 3 or 4 years in my system. It started as a large plug. Wife won it in a raffle. (she hates when I frag it so I have to be careful)

This gorgonian in the center is pretty old. I have no recollection when I got it but it could be 12, 15 or 20 years old. I have no idea.
I have pieces of it all over the place

the GSP bridge in my build thread is over 10 years old (and hasn't spread to other rocks), There are green mushrooms in the tank that are >15 years. The leather coral - which I cut off a rock about 20 years ago - has grown back an is now about 7 inches long (it was about 12 inches in diameter when I decided enough was enough. Most of the hard corals are 3-5 years
