More "Old" Reef Animals

[Timfish]

Thought I'd do a follow-up to my thread on some tangs bought in 1994. Here's a list and video of some more "old" reef animals:

Purple Tang - 1995 (rehomed 4 times) (See the link to my oldest one). Yellow Tang - 2002 (rehomed 4 times. ) Sinularia foliata, Green Finger, 1997 (documented sp. very rare). Green & Orange Zoas - 1996. Cabbage Coral - pre 1995. Green Brittle Star - Winter '97 - '98. Turkey Wing Clams - 2000(?) (bottom right of brittle star). Blonde Naso Tang - 2013(?, rehomed once). Toadstool Leather - 1997 (Dates are year the fish were bought or when the original coral colony was purchased. "Rehomed" is either when a fish was sold and moved to another system or when an entire system was sold to a new owner. Purple Stylo has only been in this system a few years but the was acquired from another local aquarist in 2014.)

30 years purple, 25 years yellow.
That’s impressive reefing!

Thank you! There was a lot of luck also, power was never lost in the 2 extreme weather events in 2021 and 2022. And I have to reiterate @Paul B assertions on the importance of using diatom filters.

Im very nee and may be list. My family went to the beach. They brought bsck two purple pincher hermit crabs. We live in the mountains of North Carolina. Ive had to assume responsibility for them. Im accepting names, other than Crusty, and any advice in how to keep these guys healthy regardless of altitude change. They are doing well after 10 days. Ive been using thevinternet for advice.

@HONESTINJUN I would suggest posting either in the main discussion forum or in the invertabrate forum. If I'm not mistaken the hermit crabs you have are land hermit crabs and there are websites setup specfically for providing health care for them.
