Not sure what the Cites deal is. Might not be a complete ban. Might just require a permit like corals. They aren't regularly stocked anywhere. However, I got my wild caught pair from King Ed about a month ago for my office tank. Still trying to get them to eat frozen food (Not easy). I've seen sea horses everywhere on occasion within the last 2 months including Big Al's, Aquariums West, Aqua Fanatics, King Ed, and J&L. J&L doesn't stock them but will special order them. The ones I saw there were the expensive Brazillian ones and they were already presold when I saw them. At the other stores, they were wild caught Kudas and Yellow Barbouris. Mine are Yellow Barbouris.
