Gooseneck Barnacles

My local LFS periodically gets them. I wanna know if anyone has kept them (successfull or not) and if successfull how you did it.

They are really hard to keep alive and require live phytoplankton to make it.

I tried keeping some a long time ago with no luck. If you ever go to Florida or someplace similar for vacation, you can pick some up for free on the beach since they grow all over any kind of floating debris. They seem very tolerant of being out of the water for a while, but slowly died on me. I wouldn't pay money for them unless somebody that's had success keeping them can post how to do it.
