They probably originated from an Australian hobbyist who collected them legally in 2006. I remember reading about his attempt but I can't find the URL at the moment.

$5500 would buy a years supply of stuff, or a very nice skimmer and light!!!! Ok maybe if we were rich.

I bet these are offspring from one of the US companies. I think Drs Forester and Smith maybe were breeding a pair of offspring that they got from the Australian pair.

Yup. Some breeder in Australia kept pestering until he was allowed to go collect a few. He bred them first and sold some to Drs. Foster & Smith; they bred them too and were selling them. I believe the majority ended up in Japan. Drs. Foster and Smith are the most likely source for the one in question.
