yes, we collected around the local beaches(had license BTW). The first to do poorly were the macroalage/seaweed...everything else seemed to do just fine....until the tank was overloaded with barnacles we placed in there.
Either way, we found the temperature being at room temp was not cold enough to succesfully keep many of the creatures native to our waters, even with tidepool creatures, they too are used to some cold water influx....so that may also play a part.
