But this and the orchid story goes to show that it's a crapshoot at the border. It's often up to the person you pull up to and how he/she interprets what you declare to him/her - take it from somebody who spent much of his post-secondary years slogging at YVR

Oh, and they wouldn't have arrested untamed. The worse they would do is hold the rock and give him a seizure receip.

Dead live rock and aquacultured hard corals (dead or alive) are covered under CITES, as is stuff like coral jewelery...
