Hopefully we get someone with either Marine Biology training behind them or someone who can 100% tell me whether the below is technically correct or if I am wrong. I am 99.9% sure I am right.
"I do speak under correction but dont zoas fall under the Pennatulacea family Cnidarians? These are actually on the no collection list. But because it doesnt say Zoas we think its actually not illegal to take them."
Zoa's can most certainly be collected.
