Let's see those non-Indo acanthastrea lordhowensis!

I buy corals because I like them and it is healthy so to say that the buyer should have risks is way out of line. If it is in this country no matter how it got here and is for sale the buyer's should not have any risk factor!

We all ready have to take risks of getting pests from some of the exporters who fail to treat for pest which are very easy and well known in the hobby and are easy to treat!

To say it is the hobbyist who should know where corals come from is wrong! If the coral is cool and you have the money why not buy it.

Compairing how few non indo acans are in this country to the ivory trade is just insane. That is like compairing a Cadillac to a Ferarri, they are both cars but not even close to be in the same class.

So if you can afford it, it's not illegal? I don't understand how that works exactly. can you explain it to me please?

How do we know how the coral made it into this country?

If it is all ready in this country and we can only guess how it was obtained wether shipped with the wrong idenentification or by growing out of live rock I don't see anything illegal about it.

My job as a consumer is to pay for the coral. Also to give the corals a happy home.

It's thinking like that that be the end of this hobby.
