Did you buy it conditioned? Or did you get it eating yourself?

if you get one that is fat and eating in the 1st place then Idols are pigs … if I might add …..

BTW is there a “Idol worshiper“ thread anywhere? if not maybe we should start one ;)

are moorish idols like angels when it comes to eating corals? sure to eat your zoas, chalice and meaty corals, but tends to stay away from euphylias and sps?

i got some zoas, palys, green nephthea, gsp, green toadstools, mushrooms that all occupy the lower half of my tank. Would idol go after them based on your experience?

I put my fish in a accommodation box until I feel they are eating right and aggression is at a minimum the while in the box then I will release them

Mine has eaten any zoas or leathers that were in my tank. He has left gsp and shrooms alone so far. Just my experience, not to say that they are all like this.

I’m sure something eats hammers and torches, but I’ve never owned anything that did

I’ve had several Idols, IME they like LPS more than anything…I never saw them touch shrooms or zoas but certainly believe it if someone says so…
@Mike1970 pardon the slight left turn …. we all must love our Idols
