圣杯珊瑚可some of the most valuable strains of aquarium corals, and the Philippines has tons of murky reefs where chalice corals thrive. However, the Philippines doesn’t allow any coral exports which has led some criminals to smuggle corals to a number of different wholesalers across the world.
Recently however the Bureau of Customs intercepted a passenger traveling to Taiwan with two suitcases filled with more than 250 corals including chalice corals and corallimorphs. Colorful multicolor and rainbow strains ofechinophylliaandOxypora通常是目标物种，因为这些殖民地可以在500至2000美元之间获取，尤其是良好的菌株可以获得几乎相同的碎片价格。
不幸的是，在菲律宾看到这种受保护的珊瑚的非法走私，尤其是在努力启动该国马里养殖行动的努力时。执法是一处理非法贩运的珊瑚but like the “War on Drugs”, one sure fire way to combat the problem is to legalize coral mariculture.
这既可以降低“无法获得”的珊瑚菌株的膨胀价格，并有助于再现更多的珊瑚，以用于释放和礁石恢复工作。通过为菲律宾提供法律珊瑚贸易的框架，地区和地方政府将消除走私者贩运珊瑚的动机，同时还为沿海社区提供新的可持续收入来源，同时还帮助恢复珊瑚礁。[[PH新闻这是给予的
