i wouldnt say whom your buying it from.. i think its still highly illegal.

Why do you think that? With all of the fuss about this new coral in the hobby and a couple reputable vendors selling them including Roe's Marine I would think that it isnt illegal at all. There have been a bunch of articles and threads about rhizos lately that I have read, I dont remember reading about them being illegal.

i heard it or read it somewhere recently...

theyre shipping these in under the CITES as "Caryophylliina"

if its the japanese variety, im pretty sure all "rhizo's" are still illegal?

FWIW, a CITES listing doesn't necessarily mean it's illegal. Depends if a species is an Appendix I species. Stony corals are CITES II. Pretty much just means that trade in these species is supposed to be monitored. I don't think any marine invertebrates are CITES I yet.

those prices are sick
Remember squid its only gonna be sick if a reefer keep buying it. U wanna stop this dont buy them. They r nice but I would not spend my money to buy one.
 
I actually got an amazing deal on mine, even though it is still more than I've ever spent on a coral. those linked above look very small, about 1". Mine is quite large, so I felt it was really worth the price.

I just emailed the seller about what the temp is going to be here tomorrow. I can't believe it won't be frozen solid by the time it gets here, even if the box was lined with heat packs! 20 below tomorrow & that's not windchill!!!

Looks like he's gonna wait until next week to ship.
Thats best IMO. The route between Washington and Chicago this week is going to be rough.
