Clark Feed and Seed
 

Does anyone know much about Clark Feed and Seed in Bellingham wa, and what the regs are about bringing live stock back (fish and corals etc.).

Fish may be ok (as long as NOT CITES restricted) but definitely NOT corals.

Soft corals are fine. Just no stony corals.

I was trying to make some sense of the CITIES website and I left with a headake (this could also be after a night of very little sleep and a day of work in front of my monitors)

Basicly, declare your animal, make sure its not a CITES animal or an animal on the susceptible species list. If you know what kind of fish youre bringing over, have some info on it printed out a head of time to prove scientific name/id. Clark's has those old style Tills that the receipt really just shows what you paid, not an item/animal name.

depending on the species though.

If the fish are captive bred in the USA its fine. You need prof of that.

If not, you need a USFW export permit also ($185) as they did not originate from the USA.

Softies are allowed, but need to be on plugs, not live rock, as live rock requires CITES ($265)

What about Ora corals? Can they be brought over if they are aqua cultured?

Nope, hard corals. Require cites
