Source for Oxynoe viridis?

Does anybody know of an online vendor that carries these sea slugs:
Oxynoe viridis

I've collected them before, but I don't know of any vendor that sells them. They are smallish and fairly fragile, and I've only found them in very well-oxygenated water.

Good luck,

You've collected them at the Texas coast?

No, I collected them just off the beach in Leone Bay, American Samoa. They were on green algae beds inside the fringing reef, behind the area where the waves were breaking. The water in that area stayed super oxygenated, and I never found them in any other area. I don't know if that's required for the species, but they didn't survive very long in my aquarium. Just curious what you were going to do with them?

I just read they specialize in Caulerpa and I'm having such a tough time erradicating caulerpa from my DT. Sad that they don't do well in aquariums.
Guess I'll keep picking at the caulerpa myself...
