rocko918 February 22, 2012 February 22, 2012 (edited) My Moorish Idol is eating pellets. Here is the video of him/her eating Noris from the clip Edited February 22, 2012 by rocko918
Origami February 22, 2012 February 22, 2012 I do believe that he thinks he's a tang. Congratulations on the accomplishment!
Ryan S February 22, 2012 February 22, 2012 Such a beautiful fish. I take it that it's hard to get them to eat pellets or nori? Was he eating those at BRK before you brought him home?
CaptainRon February 22, 2012 February 22, 2012 That is so awsome. Would love to see what else you can get him to eat down the road.

In general they are hard to get to eat anything prepared. To get him to eat pellets i don't think is very common. I think eating noris should be easy as they graze in the wild. I thought he would have eaten the frozen mix before pellets. I did not see him eat anything at brk. It just looked very healthy, fat, swimming around. not super skidish.
Incredible Corals February 22, 2012 February 22, 2012 Mine went to nori first then pellets then home made fish food. Let's pair them up

Incredible Corals February 22, 2012 February 22, 2012 (edited) Mine is at home and got him/her 12/26/2011. No clue how to sex them. Edited February 22, 2012 by Aquatic Obsession
rocko918 February 26, 2012 Author February 26, 2012 Oh well, Not only is he eating pellets he is eating ZOAS!!!! So I brought it back to BRK.
johnnybv February 26, 2012 February 26, 2012 Oh well, Not only is he eating pellets he is eating ZOAS!!!! So I brought it back to BRK. SO he is back up for sale, obvoiusly eating!
CaptainRon February 27, 2012 February 27, 2012 That is so awsome. Would love to see what else you can get him to eat down the road. Oh well, Not only is he eating pellets he is eating ZOAS!!!! So I brought it back to BRK. Not what I was thinking at all! Glad you where able to get him out - hope it didn't do too much damage. Sounds like the perfect fish for a FOWLER system.
rocko918 February 27, 2012 Author February 27, 2012 Yea, it sucks. he is an awesome fish. Always out in the open, peaceful. wish i could have kept him. I was getting ready to move him to the main tank too. Glad i saw him eating zoos in the frag tank. Great reason to have a qtank.
Incredible Corals February 27, 2012 February 27, 2012 Mine also eat LPS and I saw him picking at some purple people eaters. They were the only zoas I had in the tank so I didn't care too much.
rocko918 February 27, 2012 Author February 27, 2012 yea, he picked on some chalices too. oh well. hopefully someone else will pickup that beauty. I miss him already.
lowsingle February 27, 2012 February 27, 2012 Nice fish, I wish i had my FOWLR up and running......I would definitely purchase him! Darren
