Picture for Milkman... If your wondering why my finger is in the picture, Milkman wanted proof that the idol is still alive.

I was going to put an Idol into my 125 but was worried he would eat my zoos and pick on my brains and clams. How reef safe has he been?? I got rid of my Sohal, they get too big for a 125, is your clown tang going to the new tank? They get huge.
Nice tank also

HOW DO YOU FEED IT! a morish that i bought a couple of years ago to create the "finding nemo tank" died when i was driving home. It awas depressing.

salty chee, moorish idols are in my opinion, one of the most difficult to keep fish. I wouln't keep one in anything less than a 180 gallon.

Success with that fish past a year is minimal. The few that I have heard that lived beyond that, died within the second year.
Such a shame because it is truely a beautiful fish.
Glad to see that yours is doing fine, but I wouldn't recommend the purchase of these to others based on their history in the hobby unless there was some documented break through with successfully keeping them.

he basically eats anything that goes into the tank. dried seaweed, whole shrimp, brine shrimp, pellets, lettuce etc..

Here is a one from my lfs, they have had him for many years, they wont even sell him because they are so attached. I wish I could have him, though I would be heart broken if he died... :nope:
