Does anyone know of any stores i can check out while i am down there by any chance also is anyone familiar with laws in transporting corals out of the country since i am from Canada or permits ?

I know some on Oahu but nobody sells corals. Pretty much everyone on the island can only run fowlr's. There's a place that sells yellow tangs for $10.

Check out the Wakaki aquarium.

what is the reason for only running fowlr's tanks ?

Usually one of three reasons.

1) they want to keep fish that are incompatible with corals.

2) they don't want to spend or don't have the money to spend on reef equipment like lighting.

3) they don't have the mad skillz required to keep corals alive. :bounce:

;)

Shipping corals here is not permitted : / Stores won't even ship here because of the time it'll take to get here.

interesting is it illegal to pick corals from the ocean? I heard as long as it is not stuck to live rock its fine is that true Rufio ?
