i always find it hard to find dive buddies that dont mind my mild obsession with fish collecting. i cant help it, they need to be netted. MUST CATCH FISH. muh ha ha ha

 

[IGROZOAS]

Do you need permits in Florida to go collecting? Just curious.

 

[shrimpgal]

Just a saltwater license and there is a limit on what you can take :wavehand:

I would love to do this. I'm not sure what i would be willing to put in my tank from the Destin / Fort Walton Beach waters tho. Havent really dove the "reefs" here since they are all just very small concrete stacks.

Are there any restrictions on invasive species? I see a lot of people posting fishing pictures of nice cichlids, especially peacock basses.

 

[leveldrummer]

Is there anywhere further north that you know of where you can collect zoas and ricordea? Im in atlanta and would love to come down and snorkel and take the limit home, but Im not sure where to go, Id certainly like to stay as close to home as possible.

I'm interested as well Leveldrummer. I live in Destin florida and the waters here are amazing. I have been certified since 2001 but only ever dove the Oriskany in these waters. Most of my diving was in the keys or mid caribean. I would love to know what interesting soft corals are around here. Well actually any corals.
