You'd have to look up the species as to whether or not it's reef safe. You also need a saltwater fishing license to collect in FL. Also, some species are protected.
Heres one I found last week along with two lionfish. I always said I'll never have a lionfish but these little guys I couldn't kill so fish in the frag tank.
I would throw it back Tango looks a little weak. I never put in that type but long spine and the smaller ones seem to do well.

Is it really OK to add stuff straight from the gulf/ocean? My LFS told me no.
My boys caught some hermit crabs and snails at the beach last week and want to put them in. Since I'm still cycling, I thought it might not be a problem...but I don't want to crash the whole thing.
I realize snails and crabs are quite different from urchins and lion fish....but waht is the general rule?
BTW, y'all have been so helpful to me already, hope you don't mind me asking here
I add blue legged hermits, nassuirus snails and emerald crabs that I catch a lfs catches the hermits in the same area. To me it's know the critters before you add them and quartine the fish. Some fish I won't add tho cus their prone to parasites.Thanks the lions are sweet.
Awesome was that on Jupiter island? Parasite wise the French angel and blue tang are hard to keep. Yep emeralds are local!
