A few more parting thoughts. Then I promise to shut up, really.

Not all the animals we deal with in our aquariums are considered CITES. Basically, all the stoney or "hard" corals are. But not all soft corals. Anemones, and some species of "ornamental marine" fish are not CITES controlled (although there are some that are, so with fish it is a case-by-case kind of thing).

Basically, just because it came out of a reef, doesn't mean that it's "officially" endangered. It's just that, for all intents are purposes, reefs are a very threatened habitat, so most things coming off a reef do qualify for CITES protection.
