I don't know exact rules but there has been lots of threads on this site about this exact topic, end result is always we are not aloud to bring back sps. Possibly bigshow (Dave) can explain. If I could do this I would be on my way to reef raft USA to grab a angry bird frag.

Can you point out where it says this in the link you put up? Can't see it. Not trolling here not in the slightest. Just can't find anything I would interpret to say this. Would love it if it's true.

Still not seeing where it says it's ok for hobbyist to bring stony corals across the border.
Reefwithareefer where in that linked page does it say that?

Ryanerickson 05-26-2015 03:04 PM

I spent a couple of hours one day talking to employee's of the Canadian Government to find out if bringing coral back was ok. I was transferred around a bunch but ended up with someone who seemed very confident on what she was talking about.

She advised me, that as someone who didn't intend to resell, like having a peice or two, not hundreds, it was completely ok to bring back coral from American stores. I asked her about the hard stony coral as I heard you needed special permits and she told me flat out that I didn't. She said there were no restrictions on live coral for home aquariums and that if I did run into trouble at the border to provide the agent with her departments number (sorry I don't have it anymore) and she would settle it.

Now truth be told when I went to Crystal Reef aquatics in Bellingham I didn't see any coral I really wanted so I didn't try it out. I had all the info written down in my wallet for a while but one day was like "ah I don't need this" and threw it out. Sorry I did, I'd love to post it here as I've seen a lot of discussion about this.

Again, not saying you should do it as it seems to fall into a gray area, I'm just relaying what I was told by someone who worked in the area of the government who ok's bringing in live animals and she said it was perfectly fine. She thought it was funny that I was grilling her too cause I kept asking "are you sure"..."are you totally sure"...

I was told that as long as it is for your personal use and not going to sell it then it is fine.
