Anyone ever kept lancelets?

Curious to see how lancelets(mostly of the genus Branchiostoma) will do in a cycled reef tank with good plankton populations. They seem like incredibly silly dudes that will take great advantage of a good sand bed, although I have no clue where one would get them.

I’ve never kept them, but they are available from Gulf Specimen Co. in Panacea Florida.

Interesting. Might be a good use of my new sand bed... assuming they don't have hidden complications in their care requirements that'll cause them to die randomly.
