Florida Keys Retail / Wholesale

Are there any good places to buy live rock in the Florida keys? I was hoping to bring some back in my checked luggage. I found Sealifeinc but they might not be open on SAturday when I leave for home. Also, other than weight, is there any other issues with bringing back live rock (cultured and purchased)?

Thanks,

Faz

Take your shoes off and go into that torquoise water and get what you need. Wrap in newspaper or beer bottle labels.

Then just see if they can put that in your tank for you while you are "away" and then when you get out of jail your tank should be ready to go

Unfortunately the reality if you get caught is they will fine you and slap you on the wrist. Even a local shop keeper who got caught harvesting live rock did no jail time and hes been busted over a dozen times.
