So far as i understand there is no legal source of them these days at one time I held a licence to take the seed from the wild, though the annual cost did not justify the small demand for them and DEC made us jump through hoops each year to maintain the licence.

The problem with mangroves is where they grow, inter-tidal zone is covered by DEC legislation;

You can get a SOPP licence to take some yourself for just $10, but there is always seems to be a big wrangle to the actual land manager of an area to agree.

You can get them as far south as Bunbury, though there are none around Perth.
The Bunbury species is Avicennia marina or grey mangrove and is probably the least desirable for aquariums.
The red mangrove (Rhizophora stylosa) has those aerial roots which is normally the one desired for aquarium displays, We used to collect the seed from the Karratha / Dampier areas, though in the end DEC had decided that was at their southern distribution range and they were rare there and took that species off our list.
