It's probably not the type of story you're looking for, but the Sector General series has a big confederation of non-humanoid aliens and many first contacts with more of the same. White even came up with a 4 letter shorthand for different physiological types. Humans are classed as DBDG. Much of the series is alien medical drama in short story form with a few longer novels.

Would this suffice? Mostly short stories about encountering strange new aliens and figuring out why they're sick.

What did you think of Downbelow Station?

Possibly the Sector General series. Each story is about encountering unknown aliens in distress and attempting to discover enough about their psychology/biology to patch them up.

>What are your favorite weird creatures and races from science fiction and fantasy? Any good bestiaries?

I don't really do favorites.
If you want a variety of interesting aliens, it's hard to go wrong with James White's Sector General series.
