Sure can...as long as you are able to obtain permits. This is essence is the entire point of the thread. It is actually pretty black and white.

It's been pretty much covered. All scleractinia require CITES permits, be it an export or re-export permit.

Since these corals are not endemic to the US, a re-export will be required to be...

Of this group that is advocating for the legislation, how many are breeders themselves? If by passing this legislation, would they not stand to financially benefit?

Just sayin'.

Which is my point. It won't stop at dogs. "Solutions" like the one that is proposed are far too easy to implement yet don't really address the issues.

Based on what stats? What percentage do pet retail stores contribute to the availability of dogs? Again, this is misdirected legislation.
