Moorish Idol

Description:

Light gold body marked with jet black bands, long orange and white stripes snouts and graceful trailing filaments

Habitat:

Tropical Coral reef

Notes:

Feeding: Sponges, coral polyps, tunicates, and other benthic invertebrates constitute the bulk of the Moorish idol's diet in the wild. Captive Moorish idols typically are very picky eaters and hard to feed. They will either eat nothing (common) and perish or eat everything (uncommon).
