My wife surprised me today and I'm off to the Florida keys tomorrow - a surprise vacation. Were staying at a place that collects fish and coral, and hopefully I'll get a dive in to collect some keepers for my own tank...I'm soo stoked!

yeah they won't let you keep anything. There's alot of laws involved. Enjoy it though, a vacation like that you won't ever forget. TAKE PICS PLEASE!

From a former floridian, here is a fyi. You can collect.
1. Get a out of state Salt water fishing lic.
2. Review the SW collection laws http://myfwc.com/RECREATION/Saltwater_index.htm
3. Find a pet store/ someone in the hobby to ship it to you.
Done.

Ok, I'm here and this is the deal...I'm/along with my wife, helping the collector bring the fish/coral up. I'm not actually collecting for myself...though I'm pretty sure for all my hard work I will be compensated 8). I'll keep you posted, but so far so good! Guys fully licensed. I wanna move here!

Which key are you on? And what is the name of the place you are staying at? I was down there on Summerland Key for 2 weeks in August, absolutely loved it!
