If we are talking about the meat quality or size, the Rock Dragon naturally much larger than the flower dragon, be it from Australia or Africa. There are many Rock Dragons that weigh over five or six pounds.
However, the flower dragon is different. Although it is long, it isn't very big, with the biggest ones weighing just two to three pounds. The largest ones can be about 70 centimeters in length, but their whiskers are particularly long, with even the shorter ones measuring over a meter.
The reason why this type of lobster is so expensive and popular now is that, in Guangdong Province, many businesses hold a company feast known as the "year-end dinner" before Chinese New Year, and the best, biggest dish with the most festive appeal at this dinner is the flower dragon.
Thus, large flower dragons often fetch astronomical prices, as many people are just seeking a lucky symbol, and they are willing to spend a lot on it.
