Tarolisol is correct, this isn't really new. Both of those species of Acropora are Carribean species which has had restrictions on collection since well before I got into the hobby (1998). The staghorns you see in most people's tanks are Pacific species. Not that I have fully looked into this development, but IMO, realistically, all this likely will result in, is increase the penalties for the (already illegal) collection of those two particular species of coral.
