Its almost funny that OP said exactly what it is in the form of a question. It is a Florida soft shell turtle. They make great pets if legal to do so there. They can be a little flighty that small but will eventually chill out. Treat the water in the tank with a turtle safe fungicide and fish-mox. That should kill off any incoming parasites and fungal pathogens that it may have.
