Taipan is one of the nicest guys you will ever meet. I would definitely take him up on his offer!

Kien bought a bunch of corals from us before he flew back home. From my understand he packed his suitcase full of corals and never had a problem. [/quote]

Whoops. +1 for Taipan. met him when I was at fragfest last fall. I really liked him.
As far as bringing corals back goes, I've done it many times. Just put it in your checked luggage with a few heatpacks. I always try to make the package as small as possible with hardly any air.

That guy in the Niagra region with the Acans that are out of this world, right? Everytime he puts up pics I bring out my kid's drool rag for myself

Taipan, I will definitely take you up on that offer for a guided tour! Better to go around with someone who knows the area. I'm from Vancouver and we have nothing like your freeway systems there...

Really? I can pack the corals in my checked luggage?? There goes all my spending money for the trip...

I'm just a little excited now

Shipping corals via your luggage or carry-on is not a problem. I've done it many times....even from Vancouver back to Toronto, and Toronto to Halifax Keep me posted and we'll try to make this work.

P.S. - Yes, that guy from Niagara with the crazy Acans....SPS....and Scolys.

Thanks for everyone's kind words.

Frag Cave and myself if you want some zoas and palys that are out of this world.

Big Al's Mississauaga, Canada Corals for SPS, Aquatic Kingdom, and reef raft if you can make an appointment.

Big Al's Scarborough, NAFB, Sea U Marine (Markham)

MJC for SPS

All these places are great also I haven't been to Big Show but for LPS he has probably got the nicest pieces from what I see in photo.

Red(Taipan) is a great guy and you should take him up on his offer 2pts from BC got the tour from Red and he had a great time from my understanding.
