I wouldn't think so, there are definitely special permits,, NOT in Australia and 100% not in Europe.
Hippocampus bargibanti is listed in CITES Appendix II, it is quite possible that they were imported for breeding purposes with special permission. The USA and Australia have a special agreement as I know, but what exactly are the contents of this agreement, I do not know.
