Sorry to interrupt the showing off of these sweet corals...

BUT! Does anyone know why these only seem to be coming into a few stores in Canada? I know online shops here in the U.S. have started getting them, but are they just importing/smuggling them in from canada?

I would think the US market and importers being larger than canada would get them first, or at least in a greater quantity.

Still trying to do some research and see if these are legal or not...

Yes... they're Legit and with CITES permit as well. Our local LFS' have the documents to prove .....
Why are we Canadians getting most of the Aussie stuffs....I think it has to do being associated with the British colony....:hammer:

[greystreet41]

def. not from reefraft. :) That would be an affirmative on the Tennessee. ;)

 

[revhtree]

HAHA I can confirm TN as well!!!

 

[MarvinsReef]

there's also a LFS here in MI that got some... I think they got them from wholesaler in Cali.. dunno for sure though...

awesome eye candies everyone... I can only admire from a far... :)

 

[mbunaman]

They are legal for import into the US. No one is smuggling them. The Australians have have full cities to import SPS,LPS, and fish to USA. The CITIES is allowing a huge flow of these corals right now. I just talked to my wholesaler and he said everyone with a boat in Australia is taking advantage of the craze. I just ordered 20 colonies and it was all legal. All the talk of LFS going to Canada to pick these pieces up is a myth.

I think that too, But i didnt want to offend canadians and the ones i know wont admit that. My wife has family from there and i asked that before, and they said no the only thing that they have in common is the queens pics are on the money. :)

 

[Sea MunnKey]

The ONLY issue to offend both Canadian and American reefers is the NO easy access to cross the borders...so we can trade and do our Corals swap ...:horse:
Free Trade sucks...:hammer:

[Sea MunnKey]

Thanks for sharing,
Paul

I picked up a few more colonies, including some Bowerbanki and Hillae colonies.


It was a late night last night, so no good shots of them settled, but here's a couple shots of them acclimating.

 

[143gadgets]

Holy cow Randy!! That is a beautiful site. i can't wait to see pics of them once they settle in.

 

[RandyO]

Two of those corals are not Acans.

They look to be Moseleya sp.

I've been looking for one of these guys for a long time.
:)

 

[alexpescado]

Those are really beautiful. I could not find a lot of info on the Moselaya
sp. Are they in the favidae family? I see the shared coralite walls. do you have any more info on this coral. Great Score!

 

[Raptor]

HOLY Moseleya!!!! LOL nice stuff there! Caan i be your friend? ;)
Seriously thats some nice stuff.
