well gonna need some time to think on it. I like clownfish for newbies, but the next level should be more interesting. maybe a type of invert, or just the word invertebrate? sand sifting stars.. as the next level seeing they are on the bottom just getting started?
lol i dunno but its fun supposing what might work in that situation.
For a high number of posts it could be a fish or mammal that swims high and fast like a dolphin...
HTH
