A couple of points need to be re-stated and comments made.
It is simply illegal to import SPS into Canada without CITES permits accompanying the shipment.
If you attempt to do so you will be charged with a serious offence and the Courts will deal with you severely.
A hobbyist who imported a butterfly and got the exporter to falsify the invoice was fined $25,000.00 and the courts comments were harsh to him.
The comment that border staff would not be able to tell a softy from and SPS is not true.
Wildlife have experts on staff who can do a better job at identifying coral than 99% of us on this board.
If you get horny over a certain coral picture, print it out and take it to your LFS. They will find an exporter who will ship them one for you.
