no, you are rank enough.

ok, any ideas on species everyone.

i like the coral sea idea.

to be honest i havent had a chance to look much up. i might get out Witt's book and look there.

please no clownfish, or anything really hard like crossbreeding angels (although it might be cool), grammas etc

Some sort of Blennie?

Their meant to be easy and there isn't a great deal of info out there on them.

Orchid dottybacks could be a goer but bit expensive for my student budget and could be hard to source broodstock.. Otherwise possibly some other dotty, but are going to be harder than blennies and more aggressive..

Are there any good looking jawfish available in oz? could be an option too.

Otherwise Peppermint or sexy shrimp as invert

I like the idea of the peppermint shrimp! Start with something easy.

An idea for the fish - yellow clown gobies? Gobiodon okinawae?

Not sure if they are 'easy'.. but certaintly cute!

Greta idea paul, we will all come to your place to put out fish (shark) in!!!

Blennies would be ok, what about Miacanthus grammistes. I would prefer not to do M. atrodorsalis.

Perhaps bicolour blennies, maybe some sort of shrimp goby. Coral gobies are doable, but i suspect need ss rotifers, but that might not be such a big issue.

The coral sea idea, could be hard, flame hawks, clownfish, hmmm not sure what else is even close to worth the hassles.
