Only thinks I got are yes you need a permit to collect them from local waters (I actually checked into it) and second, in the long run you are killing them, yes they will live in warmer waters (75 is still cooler than most reef tanks) but they will not have a normal lifespan as they cannot cope with permanently increased temperates and this increases there metabolism dramatically and will cause them to age prematurely.
third as mention you cannot return them to the ocean due to possible pathogen/parasite issues if you have had anything else in the tank that is non native, heck even native display tanks that have been separated from the ocean cannot be returned so basically you have taken a beautifully local species and sentenced it to death.
