Could also add western butterfish, brownspotted wrasse, yellowtail grunter, western blue devil, and sea trumpeter. They seem to come up about once a week.
Or put a link to the Fishwreckedapedia somewhere more prominent (and in the Fish ID forum). Calling it something a little more descreptive (ie. Fishwrecked FIsh ID Guide) might help too, as who the hell knows what a fishwreckapedia is lol.

Do these occur that far down south? I thought they were a northern species but certainly I dont know for certain.

Perhaps
there should be a sticky thread for the common fish ID's. Gold Spot Sweetlip, Wirrah, Sand Bass etc.
