ReefMadness is on a distinguished road

I brought corals home from macna New Orleans in a TSA certified container that we purchased at the show.
it wasn't anything fancy as the stipulations were that the container be sealed but accessible for water sampling at customs and transparent for inspection. the container actually holds close to 2 cups of water which wasn't questioned whatsoever when either departing or arriving.
the bigger issue on their end was determining what is legal (softies and zoas mostly) for what is cities protected (corals with skeletons or are affixed to liverock). the customs agents were oblivious to the laws and had to leave a couple of times while I sat in secondary inspection to double check the information I was giving them was in fact truthful.
I kept my corals but ultimately regardless of what you're bringing, if customs deems it unlawful, unsafe or suspicious they will dump the container so it's in your best interest to be patient and cooperative.
