i honestly think that I'm bringing too much live things so should I make another tank on they can go to my reef tank?
Yes I know about parasites but I don't care, I'm switching to a natural tank, but the mix on reef and cold doesn't look good, and i think it can make issues in my tank, also my tank is a 6 gallons with no fish or corals/anemones only live rock and crabs and other hitchhikers

Cold and warm critters won't mix well. The warm will suffer if you keep the tank cold and vice versa.

True, not only it will save the animals life but it looks good! Only beadlet anemones will go in the reef tank

BUT I discovered that in the low tides the water is really warm, so I'll see what I can do

If kept in aquariums you should use a chiller to keep it cool. I see you are from France your waters will be a couple of degrees warmer than other places. Sea weeds struggle in higher temperatures . Fish struggle in warm water
If you spend money get a chiller for your tank before putting things in it . I have done native tanks for 2 years and I have found out what works and what doesn’t

No no no wait I meant like it will be better than a torture in warm water, I know that's bad but at least I take care not like 6 years ago I had a Betta in a small jar with tap water, by the way I forgot food for them will they just catch some planktons or that stuff like pods or something? No food for 3 days by the way
But Here's what I got:
Small crab
Alot of snails (CUC)
Anemones most importantly
Plants, and they release so much oxygen
Live rock with coralline and some good hitchhikers like isopods, copepods and barnacles

Yeah, that looks like a fine setup.

It's temporary anyway it will be way bigger, but there's some chances that It will be like that, I naturally found them in puddles of saltwater not moving, full of algae and I like to make their habitat more natural looking, so basically where I found them, what about the food will they survive 3 days no food?

I would think so. You don't have any mysis shrimp?

I'm going to stay civil, and not really speak my mind.

But I will say, you shouldn't just take live creatures and live rock from their natural habitat. There is no way this is legal, and you should feel bad for what you did.

I disagree. Many places allow collection of many different species, Florida for example, but there are rules. And even if they were broken- I wouldn't feel bad about it. This person is soo excited to cherish these few little critters; morally, i see no harm.

Shrug. I voiced my opinion to which I'm entitled. Imagine if everyone who had a desire decided to just take what they want. The outcome is scary. Plus, the OP obviously doesn't care if it's ok or not:
No idea but it's really easy to take them without anyone knowing cuz it's a 5 hour ride to my home, probably legal there
That type of response is what I was reacting to.
