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

My blue octocoral, hairy mushrooms and green splatter mushrooms are all over 25 years.

I have a cabbage coral, one of the first coral I bought. It is over 20 years old.

It's not a particularly showy impressive coral, LOL. It's to the right of the neon trumpets.

My Todd’s…it has to be 10 years or older and has been fragged dozens of times otherwise it would be the whole tank….

 

[MarsReefer]

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.

 

[HudsonReefer2.0]

3 and half years old

3 and half years with all the bumps and lumps that come w it. lol

 

[Sump Crab]

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.

 

[Sump Crab]

Great question!

 

[DIYreefer]

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.

 

[Malum Argenteum]

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...
