What's your oldest coral?

ngvu1 · Mar 25, 2016

For me, it is another green toad stool. When I got a used 6 gallon nano cube from a reefer with some rocks, a green toad stool came out of 1 of those rock and it has made the journey with me for over 5 years. It has had many frags; some went to friends other went on craigslist. None of the frags was sold on the forums cause they have minimal value to the new hype corals. I still like the way the tentacle moves until I see the Japanese toad stool! Anyway, here is a few months old picture in my old tank. I keep the toad in the back of the new tank behind the big rocks now so I can't really take a good picture of it.

Nice eveyone! Keep 'em coming! Love the toadstools, definitely my favorite softie

Some of these colonies are crazy big too lol.

Mine is definitely my toadstool at almost 12 years now. Currently over 16" across. My crocea was with me 9 years full grown when I lost it.

Is that one a yellow fiji or a toad? Well they are very similar actually

1 of my yellow fiji

I haven't the foggiest. I got it so long ago, I am not sure the store even knew. I know in blues the base glows light green and the polyps are white. Not sure that helps.

When I got it is was less than an inch in diameter. Still one of my favorites in the tank.

It's definitely different then other toadstools I've seen. I love the white polyps

6-7 year old branching hammer.

Can I like this twice?

Dan Hruska · Mar 25, 2016

Hammer coral 6 years old started with 2 heads

Wildcats1023 · Mar 25, 2016

3 year old Duncan. I've fragged about 25-30 heads off of it. It started as a single head. The first coral I bought

Had a 20 year old gorgonian before I had tank crash from a bad pump

I had to dig through lots of years of photos to refresh my memory for this one.

13 years for the blue mushrooms, Green Caulastrea 10 1/2 years

12 years for these Dragon Eye Zoas, Back when they were cool. I have always had a few, but they definatitely did better in the old softy 29 under PCs than they do in the SPS tank.

Longest SPS 9 1/2 years
Green Stylo, this is an older picture, I have fragged it down countless times.

Longest Acro, Green slimer 9 years

Currently I believe my oldest is the red montipora in the middle of the picture, most of mine don't stay too long, I usually grow them out and sell them. About two years old

I bought this favia as a tiny frag about 6 years ago. It's probably been in 6 different tanks. I think the tank I have right now is my last one

What a lovely brain you have.

Great topic @ReefQueen! My oldest corals are my green palys,Alien eye chalice and a Fire and Ice/Pina Colada zoa rock.I have owned them for at least 5 years.I will always be fond of my green palys because they are bullet proof and the polyps grow the size of quarters.Here's a picture of the zoas.The Fire and Ice(below)out competed the other variety years ago.
