IME tri-colors turn into bi-colors! LOL... and yes I am dosing all kinds of supliments!

Also IME it is very hard to ge a true to life pic of coral under actinic lighting without photoshop and using your own subjective perspective to adjust the whie balance and saturation. Still having said that, I would still dish out some $$$ to get some corals from the states.

Its a crazy picture but get me an encrusted WYSIWYG frags with some other stuff in the picture to judge the white balance and accuracy. Even better yet show me that coral that was grown in someones tank. Wont happen.

Cherry Corals had a booth at last year's MACNA...let's just say it's a good thing only Zoas can cross the border or I would have come back broke! They have a lot of super sweet corals.

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.

It's too bad that CITES is so specific. You can import wild hard corals from all over the world, but try to import cultured hard corals from the USA...good luck. You need re-export permits which require the original import permit from when the wild specimen was collected. It has to be traced back to the ocean with a "pedigree" of import permits. I wish there was a clause for cultured corals. Then we'd be laughing (and broke)!


Masterpiece Corals, I brought back some Blue Agave, WOW Palys, Peacock Paly, Nuclear Fallout, and Eruption Zoas. Also a neon pink with yellow skirt, black with blue mouth and green skirt, and a really pretty gold shimmer one I haven't been able to ID. I lost a few of these right away - next time I will remember heat packs!
