Is it illegal to get a starfish from the ocean?

Question

If so how much of a fine? Basically lets pretend I got a starfish from the ocean and bring it back to my home. Is it against the law and how much of a fine?

Answer 1

i dont think it is

Answer 2

Depends allot on the state and location

Answer 3

Depends, is this like an endangered kind of starfish? If it isn't you really only have to worry about Aquaman coming after you.

Answer 4

have you already taken one? where are you keeping it and hoe do you intend to feed it?

I don't think it's against the law but if animal welfare found out they might be a bit iffy
