the only fishes on the list that i recognized as a regular industry import were seahorses and pipefish (unless someone is importing basking or great white sharks). there were however a couple of species listed under corals, but none were listed as being endangered from fiji in apendix 3. not sure based on the list of protected things what they will be banning us from importing, but i could not find mention of live rock. i did find caelocanths however, which are as old as rocks! It would have been helpful if CITES had listed the species in question in their recomendation.
to save people the time of searching unless they like reading government documents, there are a total of 9 fish species listed as endangered, and 63 species of inverts listed in index one, which is the controlled index.
hopefully we don't have to worry too much, might be a good question to ask walt on the other board.
