Moorish idol

[paytonreeves]

Just wondering, are there different types of moorish idols? I’ve been looking to buy one, but some of them look completely different than others

Morish Idol look the same. Could you be looking at Heniochus? They are also called the false Morish Idol. Commonly called banner fish. There are 2 species of these that are hard to tell apart. Google banner fish then morish Idol. you'll see the difference. BTW Morish Idol have very very high mortality rate. Very hard to keep even for the very experienced.
