unfortunately i have read the same as steve. A rule of thumb is, if its pretty,.. it'll die. But none the less, deff. beautiful.
But you do live in CAli. do you see alot of sponges in your waters?? I see a TON here in FL. Depending on state laws you could collect some weekly.

but you originally stated that they eat sponges . I was just confused to see you change your mind so fast. And infact you were originally correct, this is what they eat. sponges and Bryozoans.
