Thats probably a felony!
Penalties:
Here is where the OP can get some useful information.
If you take things in quantities or that are forbidden for capture then you may be prosecuted, and if you have commercial quantities of take a good DA might try and get some time in the pen to make an example out of you?
That had to be a boatload of effort to deal with regulators! Hats off for getting that done!As noted above by @jermzisurmom contact fish and game. They will guide you. You do not want to get caught doing something stupid as the ignorant card won't work. Poaching is serious as is taking things from reserves or otherwise noted protected water(s).
Few years back during California's drought I went through a process for collecting natural saltwater. That was, well, a rather fun experience...and it was just water. Felt silly wasting so much water when creating RODI, you know.
Anyway there are laws, or may be, or things required, so fish and game is your source of record.
Wow did you read the replies. I guess not because most of them said check local laws.To the OP, the short answer is yes, you can collect ornamental species for your own aquarium. There are some requirements and limitations.
FL FWC site has it all spelled out; ignore replies above and check their site.

Here in San Diego we have a spigot at Scripp's institute of Oceanography that is open to the public. Lots of Reefers use it, but many will not due to complications associated with the water from the tap. Our coastal water if fairly green and brown after a rainstorm.

Well, I just found out that it is legal as long as you have the right permits and licenses and if you choose the fish because they’re on the legal list and based on their size and quantity per person per day
I think I saw that a pufferfish was not take, and of course liverock and corals, but good luck netting fish with SCUBA! It should be a great adventure. Post pictures if you get something legally!At least here in Brevard County
