BAN on AUSTRALIAN corals

[clownfool]

I work at a LFS and heard that they are no longer importing AUSTRALIAN corals. Does anyone know anything about it?

From what I've heard there was some trouble with some corals that are illegal to export to the US being shipped to legal collecting areas (like australia, Tonga etc) and then being shipped to the US. I believe that the collection is supposed to resume once it is worked out how the illegally imported corals got here.
