Ilove2ride Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 How long do they live, anyway? Link to comment
Satchmo Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I guess that would depend on whose tank they're in. Link to comment
tinyreef Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 i've heard over twenty years. i'd guess they're like trees. ??? i'll check back with you in about twenty years to see if any of mine lasted thru this wife. X) Link to comment
Kapelakin Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 I'd guess for softies and SPS, if you keep fragging them, they can live forever. Corals are a colony, not really one discrete organism, so I don't think they really have a set lifespan over which they age. Link to comment
sjpresley Posted November 17, 2002 Share Posted November 17, 2002 Corals are indeed immortal. Not meaning they can't/don't die. Just that they do not suffer from old age, though they may be eaten, die of disease, etc. In the proper environment. There is no evidence they would ever die. Link to comment
