How old is your oldest coral or invert?

[Len]

Bangbang had a good idea, so I'm putting spin on it My oldest coral - Acropora youngei - is 12 years old and still thriving in tanks across America

Most of my corals are about 3-4 years old. Before that I changed all the corals when I upgraded tanks.

Bangbang--good idea?



We have a Stichodactyla mertensii in the display tank at UC Davis that's been in captivity for 17 years. It's moved recently, which worries me. It's been in the same spot for the last 8 or so years at least.

I have a 5 year old maxima, green star polyps (Ok, you can't kill those, but you asked) , hammer, frogspawn and bubble tip anemone. Everything else, all other anemones/corals and such are slightly or much younger.
I sold most everything last time I moved, otherwise I'd have some critters that were much older.

My first coral was a colony of green zooanthids, I think it was 95'-96' when I got them so that would be the oldest as they still live in the system. I have had several other corals quite some time. When my sone was born I went out and bought a small leather. He is almost 5 now and I still have that leather.

I've got some yellow polyps and orange and red mushrooms that are going on 7 years...not too impressive, but I wanted to start off easy.

This is my problem too - I've relocated several times in the past 8 years so every couple of years I just end-up giving away/selling things off and then setting up again somewhere else later. I never seem to get the chance to setup the large system I want because of that. Sorta frustrating...

My green tip LT anemone is 6+ years old.

Peace,

I've moved around quite a bit in the last few years, too. So, everything in my tank is just 8 months old. Still, I've had two clams that were over 8 years old that died shortly after trading them in to a LFS.
