Those guys are listed in the Flora and Fauna Guarantee Act 1988 Threatened List (July 2006):

Please mate, if you do manage to locate them, make sure they have been bred and raised in captivity to help ensure these gorgeous shrimp survive for generations to come. I've seen them in the wild before, and the photos you see of them on the web really do them no justice whatsoever ;)
