you don't need CITES for fish or inverts or soft corals.
You do need CITES for Hard Coral (anything with a skeleton) or live rock - or anything made of live rock.
a leather coral is admissible without CITES.
a leather coral on a piece of Live rock is admissible only with CITES.
frags on cement ok. frags on live rock rubble not okay.
despite needing CITES or not, you could still be asked for american fish and wildlife paperwork to export.
typically someone at the border crossing with a couple of fish would be okay.
you cross with a box full..you are probably going to need official paperwork.
