Hmm a very delicate fish as it is prone to disease and a poor shipper too.... DOA very high.... Seem that those from bali come in better condition be it finnage or overall fish condition.... Moorish idol are very picky feeder, most seem to accept pellet food first rather than shrimp stuffs....

Hey bro WL show some pic leh

Geographical variation is possible. Polymorphism (variation in color) can occur in the same species...especially if populations of the same species are rather isolated from one another.

Try feeding the food.

I weaned mine onto pellets after the cycle on my food.

It was with me for three months until it became too fat and got stuck between my rocks and by the time I discovered it...

The stomach was flattened in the middle exactly like how the contours of the rocks are...

[Reefaholic]

Try to feed with Henry's recipe from ML. Mine with me for 1 month. From eating nothing to eati9ng everything. Start from nori, henry's food, brine shrimp, pellets, now even prawn meat.

Sighhhhh.... wake up this am to find my Idol dead and my blue hermit eating it... sianzzz....

think I just stick to this for the moment...
