Dear all,

I am thinking of keeping Moorish Idol for my 5 ft tank.

I know that they are not reef safe but I was thinking that if I get very small Moorish Idol, I might be able to convert them to pellet and brine shrimp completely.

What type of corals do they attack?

Please share your experience. Thank you.

usually meaty corals would be devoured :lol:

like pratas, plates, jewels, errrr octo branch, hammer branch... bla bla bla... but it's hard to keep right... rarely see healthy ones in LFS... u know of a place that sells them??

The world is such a wicked place,war btween the human race. People work to earn their bread,while across the sea they're counting dead

My BEST advise is that you can simply forget about keeping this kind of fish, 'cause it don't usually feed in captive enviroment. Just quote Underwater World in Sentosa, do you see Moorish Idol in their "Big Enclosure" pool?

I tried one and only one sometime ago, they really die of hunger...

if not for the power supply, his moorish idol was very healthy n fat n nice :cry2:

haha...it wun start automatically unless u make a relay system....

but at least i can tell my maid to pull the starter cord should i want to use the generator to keep everything in operation...

the UPS i use automatically switches from house current to battery for my streams when power fails :)

Aiya...no need lah.

Just give your maid a big stick to stir your 6 ft tank when power fails.

Bro Roidan, how is your Moorish Idol doing?
