Noteworthy american coral on ebay

I think you need a permit of some kind to bring any thing live back...

Ya it's not an easy process, it would be taken away if you were caught with it and didn't have the proper paperwork

and the item is in Vancouver Washington, so you'd have to have it shipped to someone's house in Montana? Then drive down and pick it up.. but before you do any of that I think you need a CITIES :-)

officially you would need CITES for both pieces
not really worth the cost or risk IMO.

Would a cities be hard to get?? would one cities cover all the same type of coral? Like an acan cities i could bring back 10 aus. acans?

I don't think it's possible as an individual. You would also probably need copies of the original CITES documents when the coral was first imported into the US and I doubt the seller has any of that to provide.

If I remember correctly, when Starry was researching bringing things over the border, if you are caught trying to bring some corals across the border they will even seize your vehicle!

ron99 is right. its why we dont get any ora corals here. they cant get permits for their stuff to ship here as they are not the country or origin for the species. its a bit retarded cus you have great propagation vendors unable to sell their stuff and pressure remains on wild collection.

I am all for propigated corals, and admin ORA has great fish.
But im at a lose for the enginered corals, im sure they look amazing and would love to have one in my tank, but at the cost of all the corals that died before they got thier good strain, it might be too risky.
I like canadas stance on genitic engineering laws, its something the usa should start too.
