Yeah he gets coral straight from a diver in the international waters off the coast from Florida. All the softies. I’m desperate for some Caribbean Montipora or acropora if Montipora even exists there XD haven’t been able to find a lot on thatAll stony corals are illegal to collect from Florida and there’s strict laws about the rest of them (I believe it’s 5 polyps per person per day in most areas) Caribbean might be easier to find, try asking your LFS about getting a shipment of those.
