SRC Member zorden Posted April 29, 2010 SRC Member Share Posted April 29, 2010 5 reason not to buy japanese CORAL #1 | They are ILLEGAL. Yes, the export of live coral from Japan is illegal. By buying Japanese corals you are supporting a black market that is giving this industry and hobby a black eye..... Quote I am just an average FR (fish reefing) writer. If you like my FRs, please upz my points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indian chief, export of corals from japan is illegal so any coral labelled as japan ABC coral is going to have been smuggled in. For Indonesia and Vietnam, there is no ban on the export of the corals, just that previously some of our LFSes were caught importing the corals without the relevant CITES permits and were fined heavily. Came out in the newspapers if I remember correctly.
