Your State's Fish and Game commision will have all the laws regarding collecting ornamental fishes, inverts , sand ,rock ,algaes etc. Be prepared to wade thru a ton of legal speak. IMOP the Fish & Game or Marine Patrol officer would frown on a truck load of sand but a half bucket for seeding might be OK. Any macros or fish,inverts etc is a differant story. Before collecting anything be real familiar with whats ok to collect. Especially You folks vacationing here in Florida! The FMC (Florida Marine Comm) officers don't fool around! As it should be.
WoodStock, I have also collected and still have snails and macro algae from Florida's east coast. What type of macro and snails did you collect?
