Yeah, I was mainly looking for Giganteas. Didn't know they were now banned. Guess that's why I haven't been able find them now. Thanks for letting me know.

Guess I'm just going to have to settle for another kind.

They are not banned it is just the majority came from Indonesia.

Indonesia banned all live rock and coral exports and that is where most of them come from. I heard recently they just banned fish but I have not conformed it.

Lots of bans lately. Hawaii banned fish, Indonesia and Fiji banned live rock and coral.
 
So much going on. Guess things were getting out of control.

Think any stores close to L.A. might have them?
 
look up Aquatic Collection on facebook. They are located in North Cal but they have the finest carpets. I got a 2 inch Gig from them in Nov. Super healthy.

PTF is also a good source but I haven't seen much lately. If you visit and ask the owner, he will keep an eye for you.
 
I second ptf. Steve is always very fair with the carpet nem prices. He gets magnificas in pretty frequently too if youre into them

Depends where you get your story. If you go back far enough, reef builders claimed there never was a ban. The fact of the matter is that it's getting harder to even see an indo Coral at a store.

That because technically it was not a ban on the collection it was health certificates would not be issued for the transport of coral in Indonesia.
There are no corals cumming out of there. There has been rumors that smuggling is rampant and some are saying some are be shipped hidden with fish but no corals should be coming out of Indonesia..

Thanks everyone for the great info and recommendations. I did hit up PTF and you are correct. Good pricing in comparison to other LFS.

Great! Did you end up finding your carpet there? I forgot to mention (not sure if someone else did?) that sunday mornings are when he gets stuff in, and its always an additional 25 % off the stuff in the bag. If youre into magnificas/ritteri (bc ppl who like gigs usually like mags too), he gets super nice ones in as well for a good price
