With all due respect Jason and I mean that sincerely, I'm not sure I understand this response. I know where your coming from, protect the local environment and all.

But your response is hypocritical. While it is ok for you to put corals in your tank that come from other countries, some of which are endangered and certainly harvested dubiously it is not ok to pick up local creatures that are not endangered.

I understand that if too many people pick through the local tide pools we might create a problem for some species, that is the time to regulate it in my opinion.
