Antny12 Posted May 19, 2016 Share Posted May 19, 2016 Like the title says.. What fish have you had the longest in your tank? Same thing with coral and invertebrates. Please post pictures so we can see- also would be neat if there was a when you first got the fish/coral to its current state. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

REEFJUNKIE Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 i don't have pictures but, my oldest creature in my reef is a Scarlet Red hermit. I have had him for close to 8 years and 3 tank moves. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FarmerTy Posted May 20, 2016 Share Posted May 20, 2016 No pictures here either but my oldest inverts are two nassarius snails that are 4 years old. Oldest fish is clowney, she's 6. Raised her since she was the size of a grain of rice. Oldest coral is a zoa, had it for 12 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KimP Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 Here's the corals I can remember having the longest. My first coral from a group buy was the Tyree green-polyped toadstool. That was fun and how I met a lot of the first ARC friends I made 5 yrs ago: Now, after years of cutting frags off of it: Soon after I got this lithiophylum undulatum frag 5 yrs ago: Now: I've had this group of hidden cup corals just as long and they were hitchikers Those corals and a couple others have been with me through many tanks. My oldest inverts are 2 types of snails close to 5 years old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gig 'em @ NDstructible Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I don't have a picture now, but I have a piece of superman montipora I've had for 5 years and a piece of red monti cap that I had originally had originally got from AAF 8 years ago Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 My female darwin is something around 23 years old. Previous owner had her for 16 and they got her from someone else already grown. I've had her for about 5 now. Inverts, I have a BTA that's been in my tanks for 6 years and has never split. I consider this a small victory in itself. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
