wowwww!,,,keep on posting,,i'm very interested.
any clue what 's in the shipment>?

if u recive a shipment of austalian corals it would be illegal as our laws are very strict u can not ship in invertbrates reptiles or any foriegn speices for hobby purposes and shiping out is the same the only way u could get australian corals is if its from a bali shiper as there reef and the n.western reef of austalia are very a like best other bet would be some one in PNG as PNG is even closer to australia u could possbly get stuff that grows around the N.T. and the west of queensland but is not the same reef as the barrier reef.
only 5% of the barrier reef is aloud for collection with most of this going to local aquariums and then being distubted to lfs so if u do get sum coral from "austailian" waters it wont be from the barrier reef

Aussy,stuffs,,,sweet ,,gonna stop by very soon

 

[morgan]

it dosent matter weather it come from the barrier reef or ocean reef ur NOT ALLOWED to export invert from australia with out a permit and there very hard to get a
i dont want to get mad about this but iam becasue i deal with a coral collector on a regular basis and he is for ever telling the laws rules a regulations and ur breaking them and they come with huge fines

 

[thekingfish]

Morgan,
Its just not Blue Sierra that is importing them.
Australia seemed to have changed their regulation to allow some exportation of corals. There is a bunch of stores in Canada and the US that seems to have them available recently.

 

[morgan]

u can get a permit to ship to america but thats incredbly expensive and hard to get
how much do the corals go for more expensive then other peices of the same coral?

 

[thekingfish]

They typically are more expensive.
The only coral I have seen with any regularity from Australia are elegances
and they are quite a bit more expensive than the indo variety.

 

[Sierra]

Most the coral out of Aust. did seem to be a bit for expensive. All beacuse of freight. Freight is about 20% higher per kilo to ship into Los Angeles
