apologies for not helping but this should be enough

A capital city (which would be a proper noun)? And why is it important if it's not in the original clue?
it is now work on the GOD bit

I said the capital bit as without letters I think it too hard so was trying a cryptic clue

Sea animal could be loads of things, but conga eel unlikely as its a conger eel. Manta Ray or Moray Eel more likely

Large fish could also be other things just as likely as Grouper - halibut? Need to know other letters to decide

They are cryptic so not just the names of fish. Answers are in previous posts (and all of the above are wrong 8) ). The second one was a bit meh IMO but someone will like it.

Never heard of him. Just thought the clue would be 'nearly' so thought of an answer for that. And then checked the letters were in alphabetical order 🙂

Wrong! A per the thread title these were meant to be silly crossword puzzle clues - think the answers have already been given but you haven't read the whole thread...
