welcome. I am always amazed what you can get and cant get in Australia.
Totally agree down here we can get some incredible coral but nothing like in other country's. I do understand why thought.
If you didnt already know we can only get a few thing imported to help stop spreading pests from country to country

I bought my Cone snail shells from gift shops and market stalls. Three belong to worm-eating species (Imperial cone, Leopard cone & Vexillum cone), two belong to species that feed of other molluscs (Marbled cone & Cloth of Gold cone) and I also have two that belong to fish-eating species (Geography cone & Striated cone). I'd hoped that during my trip to New Caledonia I'd get the opportunity to see a live Cone snail while out snorkelling, but unfortunately didn't see any. Apparently, the most dangerous to humans are the fish-eating & mollusc-eating species.

Saw two Sea snakes during my New Caledonia holiday, though I'm not entirely sure what species it was. I've had a look a photos and I'm thinking they were either Belcher's Sea snakes or Yellow-lipped Sea Kraits.
