Just messing with ya, I do know that they are very challenging to keep alive in captivity, not much else to tell you.

Be ready to get flame. The Moorish Idol require a very large tank. 200g + IMO. Do a search about Moorish Idol, there has been a few thread about it.
I would return it back to the lfs or find a bigger tank for it. |

hi fishtanker,
I think you should put him in a big, established reef tank which has different types of sponge. In a new small tank i dont think MI will have much chance.
