The usual spot for sps is deff ama but not sure if the sps table is stocked up again and they re-did it i would give andrew a call.

agreed. and btw the indo ban was lifted so expect selection to get a bit better over time. I've had some luck with sps frags at Tropical Island Aquarium in Deer Park or pets warehouse in Copiague. nothing too high end, but the usual.

Reefbuilders jumped the gun on their reporting here is a partial copy from one of the largest importers that we received this week

Update on Indonesia:
We?ve been getting a lot of calls and messages about the news from Indonesia. There is anxiety about the whole Indo shut down. Multiple reports of the trade being reopened, then not being reopened, has been confusing and your patience has been put to the test.
As of now the situation remains the same; i.e. the coral trade has not resumed. A few weeks ago the House of Representatives had a meeting with the Fisheries Minister about reopening of the coral trade. Unfortunately, it is contingent on the fisheries minister to issue a health certificate for export of all livestock. Although health certificates are not required to import into the United States, they are required to export out of Indonesia. The government asked the Fisheries minister to consider reopening the trade and she responded that although she did not close coral export, she is not going to issue health certificates for corals.
