Can we get an ID thread?

I'd love to see a "Recommended Thread" in the ID section with the more common hitchhikers. I've noticed that a lot of "ID Please" threads don't get answered very quickly, and it can be frustrating to new hobbyists when they're not sure what's in their tank. We were all their once, having that "WTF is that moment, when it was only a bristle worm, or amphipod" LOL
So can we submit our best photos of common hitchhikers and I'll make a sticky?

Part of the reason I'd like one here, that works.
I think the one over Lionfishlair is awesome, but I'm thinking one here on this site THAT WORKS would be nice to new hobbyists.

It would indeed be nice, but unless you want a random thread with pix and comments that someone has to sift thru, it will be cumbersome to use. The best bet would be for someone who can write HTML code to put something together (they don't have to write it, just format the info) as an "article" or "guide" that can be linked and that will be an ever-evolving entity that receives regular updates with photos and/or links to info. Renee had to learn HTML coding by the seat of her pants for our website and articles, so I know that the whole process isn't easy.
You could also do it as a "gallery" with just a lot of pix (one main pic that will open others when clicked) and ID's and just put a link to the gallery.

My idea to get all the pictures here, and descriptions of each (if possible) and then make them a wiki article
