Pyro,

A quick Google resulted in finding a website with this tidbit on it:

Quote:
2) No person shall sell, within the State of Florida, any live rock harvested in or from federal Exclusive
Economic Zone (EEZ) waters adjacent to state waters unless such person possesses a saltwater products
license with both a marine life fishery endorsement and a restricted species endorsement.

So, you can harvest the rocks but just don't go selling them unless you have a license. Harvest away, man. =)

Of course, as you skim through the rest of the page, there's a lot more legal mumbo jumbo that I don't care to try and understand so it's up to you if you want to continue getting your own live rock. I think it would be fun to harvest your own... although, I don't have a private beach so my circumstances are different. =)
