How long do LPS,SPS and soft coral live? If you have a patch of them will the oldest die and then be replaced by new ones?

honestly i think they can live forever if in prime conditions
In nature i think they only die when something kills it,
scuba diving i'v seen many LPS and SPS that were huge (much larger then i am)
i would think they have been living there hundreds of years...

oh and my oldest coral (length of time i'v had it is five years) but its most likely much older then that (got it as a small frag from another reefer)
he had his about 4 years and his must have come from somewhere as well =D
