I live in canada - i got the monomyces from a canadian wholesale/retailer (bigshow frags). About a year ago they were being sold as Rhizo or baby Rhizos all over North America. The diaphana I got from another LFS (NAFB - North American Fish breeders). I don't think either one is setup to do exports. You best bet is to develop some relationship with local wholesalers/retailers to get them to order NPS corals for you - a lot of LFS don't bother because of low turnover and mortality rates. Wholesales often get very interesting stuff as part of a larger shipment - but most retailers (or sub-wholesalers) don't order those because its not economical. I'm fortunate in that we have a few LFS that do their own importing so there is often some NPS corals as part of a larger shipment.

The micranthas polyps can grow much bigger than "normal" coccinea's. Some species of Tubastraea (like faulknari) natural have very big polyps - these are very uncommon.

Noy, you are much too busy to care for these new corals. I would be more than happy to take them off of your hands to help out. Just call.
