Whoa. High tide there must be quite something!
Thanks cripplecreek. Well said. Jupiter and Saturn have, between them, more than 100 moons, most of them just rocks. The exoplanets currently known (more than 2000) are those which have been easiest to spot given the technology available at the time of discovery. Even the new Alpha Centauri B Earth-sized planet was only detected because of its proximity to the star. This suggests that as technology improves, moons in close proximity to known exosolar giants will become easy to spot. So much more will be coming along.
