Hi Carter
[welcome]

I only purchase tank raised seahorses as they do much better in captivity than their wild caught brethren. I would tend to shy away from getting a rare species as you may be helping to make it not only rare but extinct.

I not sure of tank raised suppliers "down under" but maybe someone else can help out.
