Probably why it is fairly pricey. Found a piece in the USA awhile back, but did not want to spend the 200.00 for a 1" frag at the time.

Typically, this is true. apparently the RD was cultured and not directly from the ocean. They said it could be imported, but we all know there is all sorts of hassles convincing customs etc...

Good luck with that. Think they were just trying to sell it once they have your money they don't care. As far as I know all acro needs proper paper work.

I think you are wrong there. If something is listed as requiring cites it doesn't matter if you are a business or an individual. You still need it. You might get lucky and get an agent who is ignorant as to what is allowed or not. But if you get one who is knowledgeable, and you are bringing something across without proper permits, you might be setting yourself up to get cavity searched every time you cross the border in the future. In my opinion not worth it.

The only thing I can say to that is that the agent I spoke with said I did not need one and when I came across with corals, I was not asked for a permit. So did I get wrong info from the first guy an the second did not know any better as well,or was the first guy correct and that is why I was not asked for one by the second agent? Or is the info you believe to be correct, actually incorrect?

All I know is that I hid nothing, had the paperwork that I was told I needed and came across with the corals. They spent more time trying to figure out if it was for a business or hobby and the fact that my passport was expired than any CITES issues. Which is the opposite of what I thought would be an issue

Exactly doesn't matter who you are stony coral all need cities permit think you got lucky you can bring back soft coral I'm pretty sure unless they are attached to rock. Live rock is not allowed.
