    Anyone have first hand experience with a Moorish idol.

    So as the title states has anyone successfully kept one of these fish? If so what do you think is the most important thing you did to make it work? I have been thinking about one and reading up on them for quite some time now but still on the fence as to if I am going to go for it or not. Thanks

    So is it necessary? The only fish in my tank is an angler and he gets target fed once a week so there is no chance of this coral grabbing any bits of food. So what do the experts think? Thanks
