Corals are listed in Appendex 3 in the CITES agreement. Athough it does say corals are covered, the wording is specific to those corals that are attached to a piece of live rock, or are made out of calciferous material (ie stony corals). Therefore soft corals that are not attached onto a piece of rock rubble, or are on plastic/ceramic/man made plugs can be shipped without any permits.
