They like clams, mussels, nori, frozen foods like LRS, and pellets.

They will eat and benefit from pretty much any food they consume; the hard part is getting them to eat.

It’s best to start with a young specimen and try to get it as small as possible.

If nothing works, you are pretty much doomed.

Moorish idols really like acans and brain corals. Perhaps you can try some corals and see if it has a reaction to them as an experiment.

Watched a video the other day, said a high fiber diet of nori and other plant based goods are best for their digestive track
If they nip at a coral or coral skeleton, smashing foods into the Skelton helps teach them as well…..
in the future when attempting expert only fish it’s best to do a ton of research so you are better prepared

In the sea they eat sponges depending on what sea they are in. In Tahiti, thats all I saw them eat.

But in Hawaii they live on dying vegitation.





I had mine for 5 years and fed him sponge that grows here in New York on floating wooden docks.
