local collecting

I was wondering if there was any reef safe fish or inverts that are native to gulf shores, alabama.

I haven't heard about any great Alabama fish (especially right now). It would be a good idea to check the laws regarding collection there. I know there are a lot of restrictions in the Gulf, but don't know if they're state-dependent or not.

I know here we get lookdowns, spotfin butterfly, short bigeye, blue angels (rare), and a few others. I would be wary about putting any of them in my reef tank though.

Ok I was just wondering if gulf shores, alabama gets Lysmata wurdemanni or reef safe shrimp at certain times of the year. Also any snails or crabs that are reef safe and will eat bryomis algae I know spelling incorrect. All my water parameters are in check I just can't get rid of the damn stuff. When I manually remove it the patch I remove grows thicker
