    I was curious what is the oldest inhabitants in everyones tanks? We talk about all the stuff we have but we know some items we've all loved and lost. Any originals you still have from when you started?

    1. My first clown fish when we started up saltwater (now mama) and she's a least 8 years old (kinda lost count, would love to know)
    2. Favites Brain coral - first coral ever bought, still have.

    These items I've had since day one and they have survived many a tramatic circumtance to be truthful !
