Zoas and other soft corals are not protected by CITES provided they are not mounted on live rock. As long as they are on synthetic plugs they are good to go. I told Canada Customs I had live corals at which point the lady's eyes just about popped out of her head as she said, "You have what?!". After I told her, "They are Zoanthid corals which are a soft coral with no calcareous skeleton, not protected by CITES, mounted on synthetic plugs, and kept in synthetic seawater." I had no trouble. At some point my luggage was searched, but I had a note in my luggage stating the same as above.
