Live rocks, but also any hard corals or sea fans are off limits.

As far as the angels posted, I believe gatorzone's to be a Blue, and McFly's to be a Queen. Generally how I tell on Juvis, directly above and below the caudal (tail fin), Queens have two blue patches that form into soild blue edging around the streamers all the way. Blue's have either one or two yellow patches instead.
That said, they are definitely mixed and not pure either way. The only specific areas we know of that has a "pure" species are Queen's off Brazil.

Cool thanks for the info. Would be nice if mine turned out to be a queen but I guess the only way to be sure is to let them grow up.

No prob. Here's a juvi Queen I had for a bit. As you can see the lines aren't really that 'curved,' though you can see the crown. I wouldn't be too surprised if yours started to form one.

Just a quick note on this post. The Florida Keys are a protected area and any harvesting of any kind is illegal. Fishing is allowed but there are many places that fishing is also illegal. Make sure you talk to the local fish and wildlife group in the area you are going before attempting any collecting. In Florida it is a Felony if you get caught with something you are not supposed to have, they will also take your boat, everything on it, and take you to jail. Be very aware of the rules and regulations for the area you are going, as they change from place to place.
