Its a fun competition.
Abd totally agree on photography and reefing complementing each other.

So what pic should I post ? from 90's or current of same coral ?

What if, and @maroun.c can tell me it won't work, what if you put both pictures together into one picture and make a collage - before and after?

Hmmmm I would post pic of the coral now so we can see the larger older version. Definitely free to post a collage, we've done a few collages a while.vack abd that was good contribution. We can also have an old and new shot collage in couple months if there is traction for that.

Bump for more entries!!

The Ole' GSP. He's about 2 years old. Currently sitting in a Biocibe 32, with original lighting. About 10" x 6". He would be much larger but a Speckled Leather keeps him in check.

Seeing as I cannot compete with the GSP photos on here I'm going with my first stony coral this Micromussa. About 18 months.

This green torch was my first coral. Bought as a single-head frag 2 years ago, I now count over 32 heads. It is also the home of our Percula Clowns couple.

15+ year old leather coral, it's about 16" across when flattened out.

the Duncan and the green zoaare my oldest but I’ve only been in about 2 years

 

[Reef and Dive]

Acropora latistella, slow grower, 4 years in this tank. Took a veeeery long time to grow and get nice… Too bad there are reflections…

My elegance is about 25 years old. It hosts a few clownfish, one that’s probably 28 years old and still laying eggs every few weeks. The photo was taken with my iPad

Blue Ridge ,original piece started about size of baseball, 1989-1990 ?
1st pic late 90's ,call it a frag, half of 75 gal tank .

current , from frags,approx 1' x 3' span...

 

[scardall]

Had this coral for over 33 years.

 

[Reefing102]

As my tank is fairly new, this my oldest…Hammer. Got it with about 8 heads and numerous babies. Now I’m at 20 plus heads and still numerous babies. The occasional head will die every now and then but really can complain.

 

[i cant think]

Does it count if that coral recently died?
Here was my 4 year old Duncan that recently got nipped on (I’m assuming it was my Majestic as it only started going downhill with her in the tank).

Blood Diamond Favia. About 1 year in my tank, Some new growth recently but otherwise painfully slow grower. But how can you not love the colors!

And the winner is……
