Aside from People Eater Zoas, what other corals were brought in prior to the Hawaii ban?

Anyone out there know what corals were brought in prior to the Hawaiian ban? Someone out there has to still have Hawaiian corals in their tanks that are being aquacultured, right? Are there corals that were originally Hawaiian but are now being called *insert fancy name*? It is almost impossible to find the origin of a lot of these named corals.

I didn’t realize any corals shipped out of Hawaii. I know they couldn’t collect stony corals, and I thought soft corals were also restricted if they were attached to a coral rock substrate.

They must have been taking the Zoanthids off of the rock prior to shipment.

I can think of 2 that I have. They have been in the hobby for a long long time. They are sold under varying popular names.

Pink Hawaiian Pocillopora Verrucosa
Pink Hawaiian Pocillopora Meandrina

I wish I could fins some one with green Pocillopora Meandrina. I have wanted a frag for a long time but have only seen it for sale 1 time.
