What Dave was trying to say, is this has been done a few times, and while it's a great idea, it is definitely better to add to the original threads than make another and lose all the original information ;).

Of this list, the first is the only "rare" species to find in the US. I mean they all can be found pretty easily, you must just have the pocketbook to match. Also, the and are very regularly available on Aquabid (believe I saw the faveolus just the other day).
What's your favorite Dressing~~
