Winter is always a problem for sure.
In addition, there has been a delay in the issueing of CITES permits in Indonesia. That means that wild corals can not be exported and impacts stock levels. I believe the 2006 quota has been recently finalized, so hopefully things will start flowing soon. Obviously it is not a delay that anyone is happy about, but it is important to allow CITES (Convention on International Trade of Endangered Species) to work. It is definitely not a game. Violations or "work around" of CITES can mean huge fines at a minimum. I've seen DEAD scientific collections seized for failure to comply with CITES regulations.
It should be all good soon. Like everything in the hobby, just needs a bit more patience

this is why we all need to work together and get frags from other hobbyists! It isnt necessary to get them from the ocean anymore, another hobbyist will have what you want most of the time.. Check the corals & trading, and post on there.. maybe u can frag something u have and trade for what u want!
