That's amazing. Considering that's what they found just around the island of Panglao, imagine how many other undiscovered species there might be in our vast oceans!:wideeyed:

That's pretty wild!

I wonder how many species of aquatic creatures have yet to be discovered on our turf.
I bet there's tons of stuff out there that nobody's ever seen or documented yet. :yes:

How long does it take for new species to get into the hobby?

Good question... I guess it varies, but there doesn't seem to be much rhyme nor reason to it. Anything especially attractive is going to have profit potential and that's when the mining starts.
