I still have the Sailfin Tang and Purple Tang purchased in 1994 and posted in this thread
http://reefcentral.com/forums/showth...7#post25706647

Sialfin is a Z. velifer and was 5"-6" TL when purchased. Purple Tang is Z. Xanthurum and was 4"-5" TL.

Some corals or inverts purchased in the '90s I still have in my systems include:
Brown finger sinularia
Palua green finger, Sinularia foliata (This is unique as it was not described until 2008 and is the rarest of the various Palau green fingers)
Orange and green zoas
Green Brittle Star, was roughly half grown.
A single finger polyp, has never grown or split. :/
Brown BTA
Tri color frogspawn
Xenia (this stuff was considered difficult then)
GSP
Toadstool
Cabbage
Purple, red, green watermelon Actinodiscus mushroom polyps
Bubble coral
Yellow rock polyps
Yellow, pink and white cryptic sponges

Gotta admit I always seem to have some aiptasia survive the various cullings I've done over the decades.
