Aside from the pollution / legality concerns, you're also talking a completely different "climate". I know some folks who have tanks which replicate the New England shoreline - but they are coldwater tanks w/a chiller. Specimens collected from the NJ shore would not thrivein the temps/conditions of a tropical reef.
The only thing I've ever collected locally is empty shells for hermits to grow into.
