    My Moorish Idol stopped eating

    Well, I have had him for only 3 days, but he ate once. Do you think it is because he is acclimating? I did a very slow drip acclimation. I can accually see his ribs of whatever those bones are now. I am getting worried. I have been trying frozen Brine Shrimp, but maybe I should buy some nori...
