Because there is no Federal Law stating that reef keeping MUST be allowed in the US. Due to this, Hawaii can set what ever law it feels in this situation. It is not violating or conflicting with a Federal Law. Sorry, but your options are to find another hobby or move. :(

Thanks for clearing that up... I guess Ohio is better that Hawaii at something

Tridacna Clams are illegal in Hawaii. Any invert from out of this state is illegal...and any corals period are illegal.

i'd listen to the man/woman, their occupation says legal counsel.

A reef tank in Hawaii, that's like an armadillo farm in Texas. Just go outside and jump in the water. :D
