Zanclus Cornutus

What is the maximum size?
They can reach 23cm.
Where is its origin and where is it exported from?
The Moorish Idol comes from the Indo- Pacific.
Is it Reef Compatible?
Not ideal, may pick at sponges and some other corals that they would naturally eat in the wild.
What should I feed it?
Difficult to feed. Best to feed a varied diet with plenty of algae, frozen foods and live food. Keep with live rock as it's a grazing fish and this will also help get it feeding.
How many can I keep?
This fish can be kept on its own or 2 or 3 in a very large aquarium. Needs plenty of swimming space and also some hiding places.
How compatible is it with other fish?
A fairly peaceful fish. Best to acclimatise to a tank before any territorial fish are added. Can it be bred in the aquarium?
No
