Default Good list of fish and coral the mesh for a beginner

Does anyone know a website with a list of fish and coral that go good together, for a beginner? I have gotten alot of advice from people and i've read a couple things in the books at the store, buti keep getting partial list of fish and coral. Its kinda dumb, but like a premade list of stuff i can get. I worry that i will get something that will cause some of the other live stalk trouble (thier to expensive. Or if anyone has a similar size tank with live sand and rock, maybe you could list all the live little goodies you have, maybe even post a picture for me. It would be very helpful if someone could help out.

you typically have reef safe fish and none reef safe fish. All reef safe fish are good with all corals. there are some grey areas but if it's reef safe typically it is safe with inverts, worms, and corals

many books are written with reef safe as one of the classifications
