Although I did a 'rough draft' in my review thread for the aquarium, I want to make an actual species list, this will be based on my visit earlier in the year and the many livestreams on facebook over the past few months which show the tanks. I'll only be covering tanks I'm certain of most of their inhabitants.


Bay of Rays

Varied Carpetshark (Parascyllium variolatum)
Port Jackson Shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni)
Southern Fiddler Ray (Trygonorrhina dumerilii)
Southern Sand Flathead (Platycephalus bassensis)
Mado (Atypichthys latus)
Moonlighter (Tilodon sexfasciatus)
Sea Sweep (Scorpis aequipinnis)
Silver Sweep (Scorpis lineolata)
Yellow Eyed Mullet (Aldrichetta forsteri)
Old Wife ( Enoplosus armatus)
Magpie Morowong (Cheilodactylus nigripes)
Weed Whiting Species (I highly suspect it's Longray or Blue)
11 Armed Sea Star ( Coscinasterias calamaria)


I am awaiting on a response for some many unidentified coral atoll species from the aquarium. The thread will continue afterward
 
UPDATE: SEALIFE Melboure have sent me a document containing the information I need. I am currently unable to access with where I am right now, so expect it to be delayed till tonight.
