Have any hobbyists started breeding Long Fin clowns?

I have heard of only one hobbyist breeding the longfin clown so-far, resulting in what we would call a "semi" longfin with some long fin rays but without the full flowing fins.
From what we've seen at SA, they have taken a bit longer to mature and begin spawning than "normal" ocellaris clowns (closer to two years from hatch rather than 16-18 months).
They also don't produce 100% longfin clownfish, even when both parents have long fins, so the yield of long-finned fishes per batch is not too high, even when lots of healthy young are produced.
I'm sure it'll happen soon though, lots of pairs are being purchased by capable breeders
