    Any permits? Slightly illegal.

    Then there is the getting it home alive part unless you are thinking decorative.

    Pick up some fish too! You will not get much benefit, other than a cool story for your sand and rocks

    as said earlier, it is illegal to take things without permits.

    You can get some cool pics!

    I would love to live near the red sea, some of the best fish in the world come from there

    Ich is everywhere. The question is if your fish's immune systems can keep it from infecting them
