Had a stunning dragon soul that I got as a single head, colorless frag that was up to 40 heads at one point in 4 years. Lost the whole thing to BJD. This hobby hurts sometimes but it’s all part of the process

This was it at around 20 heads
 
These are all very impressive. My tank isn’t quite two years old yet I can only hope to get some as impressive as these.
 
Got my first kenya tree about 14 years ago. Idk what generation I'm on now lol. I have a lot of corals in the 5-10 year range.
 
I've got a Tyree Toadstool Leather that I've had for probably 15 years. However, a few months ago I got rid of the main colony and now have probably 10 frags/mini colonies.
 
My Sarcophyton elegans is from about 2005 or so, so almost 20 years. My Euphyllia ancora and Caulastrea I got in 2008, so sixteen years. I've had my Turbinaria peltata since 1991 or 92, so at least 32 years. Old enough that they remember when T5HOs were pricy bleeding edge tech and a "reef controller" was the guy/gal who did the water changes. Ah, the changes those corals have seen...
