Yeah, I will probably go for that, do they have any special care needs or food? I do plan on supplementing nori for some of the inverts and clowns

Maybe a big blue damselfish, I kinda want a really messy fish so I have a excuse for more CUC and inverts but I was planning on a tiger tail cucumber (proper care and are these toxic I have heard these cucumbers to be not toxic unlike other cucumbers) cleaner shrimp, 5 Trochus Pincushion urchin and a brittle star (Unknown if it is a micro or not)

Starkii damsels are gorgeous and just absolutely glow like neon signs when healthy and get pretty good size too.

My algae eating inverts love nori so I suppliment them with it. Shrimp and crabs will eat fish food or just about anything.

I wouldn't think you need a messy fish for a cucumber or if it would even help....just a mature aged tank and sand bed.

Yup! They are great fish that get around 4” and pretty much act like tangs. No special foods, my sis and your normal stuff should suffice. Also if you are looking for a alternative for the lion fish, the banded circus goby is another great fish!

We
Like only Australian?
Well, we can get fish anywhere in the world (Some fish we can't) there is really no list but apparently we can only get inverts in Australia waters because of 'disease' because apparently fish do not do hell but no inverts are gonna cause god dang Ebola or the Black Plague. But in summary fish anywhere and inverts only in Australian waters (Not even in the Indo Pacific)

What website are ordering from, or store. Just so I know what fish you can get in Australia.
some Australian websites are Reef Secrets Aquariums, gee Marine, oceanium (I think it is that), and a couple other types, if you are looking for a fish just type like 'damselfish for sale Australia' any website ending in .au is australian

Give me a list of the fish you like and are available to you. I’ll give you a bit of insight about them and if they are good for your tank. :)
