Shipping LPS to hawaii?

[benjaminspades]

Is it illegal right now to ship stuff to hawaii? Is there any law right now prohibiting shipping? I would like to know more from someone experienced Thankyou.

Maybe you should contact PIA...but as far as know, I would say no!

Having a tank with corals in it in Hawaii is illegal unless you have special research permits, that probably answers your shipping question.

Only local soft corals and nems are legal in Hawaii

If the people I knew that were station were correct it is illegal to have stuff shipped into Hawaii. I have heard of people who have set up tanks with the local stuff but released when they recieved orders. Everything I have read states it is also illegal.
