ORA livestock:what would you buy?
 

I'm going down to the southern states next week and I thought about stopping by ORA farms and picking up a couple of nice pieces.

I'm thinking of getting a clam or two, acros, montis, another sps depending on the selection. Mushrooms and zoas can be imported without paperwork, as long as they are properly documented and on man made plugs, so I was thinking of some of the tougher to acquire typical CITES required stony corals.

If you could, what would you buy and bring back to Canada?

Am I missing something here?

Regarding the mushrooms and zoas or the stony corals?

Sorry, I am still a newbie in terms of this board and I don't understand the inside references. If someone could explain or pm me that would be greatly appreciated.

Get there fish because aqua cultured
coral are available anywhere.

the CITES process is typically now a minimum 2 month period and no store or company will go through the headache of it for one person or one small order.
without CITES, trying to get any coral beyond the border could land you in trouble.
I know people who have had their zoa frags seized even though they were on man made plugs.
Although I am sure that cross border coral shopping is done on a regular occurrence by lots of people, I personally would not recommend.
ignorance of the law is not a defence against being charged.
showing up at the border with a CITES species and saying "I didn't know" won't cut it in most cases.
you could be charged and at the best case have your stuff confiscated.

Ok, I'm a schmuck! Doh!

Nice fishy btw. How long do you think they'd last if they were my carry on? 24 hours?

I am NOT looking to circumvent the CITES process whatsoever, hence purchasing ORA livestock.
