No.
because of the following:
-temp. differances
-pollution

-agressive, or uncompatible
-it destroys natural ecosystems
-may be illegal

Wolf.

-pollution

Somehow, I have doubts that the polution is gonna hurt anyone else but the hermits.

-parasites, bacteria, etc.

You would have the same risk with any other wild collected fish or invertebrate. It also seems to be a rearity that inverts will carry parasites.

-it destroys natural ecosystems

Doesn't the collecting, selling and purchasing of almost every other marine fish or invert do the same?

But you did get it right, the answer is still no.
