Sorry, I am still a newbie in terms of this board and I don't understand the inside references. If someone could explain or pm me that would be greatly appreciated.

Wow that is a gorgeous fish! Do they naturally swim upside down like that or is that something ORA bread into them?

Way to much work for a couple of corals. FYI some have "snuck" into canada already which are the more desired sps pieces

That is the behaviour of Assessors. Typically they are found swimming upside down under caves. Super cool fish. I remember seeing for thethe first time and being like "errrr.... Your fish is broken".

the CITES process is typically now a minimum 2 month period and no store or company will go through the headache of it for one person or one small order.
without CITES, trying to get any coral beyond the border could land you in trouble.
I know people who have had their zoa frags seized even though they were on man made plugs.
Although I am sure that cross border coral shopping is done on a regular occurrence by lots of people, I personally would not recommend.
ignorance of the law is not a defence against being charged.
showing up at the border with a CITES species and saying "I didn't know" won't cut it in most cases.
you could be charged and at the best case have your stuff confiscated.
