If you pluck a growing one out of the substrate it could be depending on where you are(in a park under NParks for e.g.) but plenty of the pinnules(seed pods) float in and onto many of our beaches. I doubt those are illegal to collect

Are these mangrove plants? Can’t find pods on them.

looks like it, I think you'd have better luck at kranji beach where they are bigger though

there is also a handful of trees at Changi coastal walk and quite a few areas of unprotected mangrove swamp in pulau ubin behind the lotus pond

also I doubt that you can just stick a mangrove pod into your tank and grow it. When I was younger I went to this sorta camp at sungei buloh and over there they started their pods off in soil for a couple years first

Some years ago, I pull  out 2 saplings from around the beach at the Changi village vicinity. Have not been there since then. Not sure the small mangrove swap is still there. Illegal or not, I don't know!  Sapling is a little easier to maintain in your sump. Do not grow fast too . Gave mine away 2 years ago.

Good luck!
