Captive-Bred/Raised Lettuce Nudibranchs

[cristata.reef]

Anyone here have a population of lettuce nudibranchs (Elysia crispata) that are eating and reproducing?

I'd like to get some but wild-caught ones are often obligate species and I would prefer to avoid the hassle of trying to match an individual with one of several dozen algae species that they are known to consume.

Cheers!

I am aware of that lol (but it never hurts to ask). The problem with these is the size of their eggs which often get stuck in pumps and subsequently macerated. I've kept and bred coldwater nudibranchs before which are much harder than lettuce nudis btw.
