Actually, we should all hate them aussies here! They only have to skinny dip and pick up Scolys of their choice. Buggers!
Just joking here, dude! I was told why they are so expensive here Germany and prolly even more in the US. For Germany it is like it doesn't really pay off to get in a boat and go diving to collect them, for us here it is more of a logistic problem hence the price.
Oh, and nice tank and the three times I was spending my holidays in Australia, respect to ya folks! I got a slight taste of the way down under and I love it! They Sydney Aquarium is nice, not only for Jackie Chan doing a movie there.
Makes me wonder here of those morons having 'billabong' on their street wear.
Anyways, no wukkas, nice tank and I hate you for them Scolys ;-)
