In FL they are very strict when it come's to the law's for fish collecting. You can get your permit from the fish and game. I know in FL it's illegal to collect live rock from the reef's. They will inforum you what you can and can't collect.

In the collection of Cephalopods ive been told that they use a very small hook like a fw trout hook and bait it with some spering or outher meaty native small-med fish. And to get mantis shrimp your best bet is to dive in a rocky area and search for hole's around rock structure's. Be carefull in collecting them because some can inflict a nasty cut. Anouther recomdation is to get or make a suction gun to suck them out of the hole or crevis of the rock's.
