I've been doing lots of research but seem to keep getting mixed advice on this topic. I currently have two 20 gallon reef tanks and a 75 gallon FOWLR. My current interest has been to find any sort of invertebrates that could be successfully cultured in my aquarium. I've heard that some cucumbers will reproduce via fission, as well and select breeds of starfish, but I am curious as to what species of inverts are most practical for aquaculturing. The main goal would be to have something that would be able to create a self sustaining population in my aquarium. Does anyone have any personal experience with breeding and raising and inverts?

One word: "Bubble Tipped Anemone".....

Alright, maybe that's more than one word, but they multiply like crazy if they find the conditions right 🙂

Best of luck with your breeding project!
 
I’ve had stomatella snails reproduce all on their own! One of my favorite things to spot in my tank from time to time
 
BTA is nice
Black key hole limpits.
I started with 3 to 5 in my sump, in 2 yrs, they reproduce in my 120, 75, and 40.
They don't bother any kind coral.
My snowflake ell, trigger and wrasse do t bother them. I find dead shells in sand all the time.
