Its scientific name is Zanclus cornutus. Although peaceful and attractive, it is considered a very difficult fish to keep in captivity, mainly because of its specialized diet and sensitivity to aquarium conditions. �\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChewy +1\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFamily: Zanclidae\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScientific Name: Zanclus cornutus\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCommon Name: Moorish Idol\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehavior:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGenerally peaceful and active. Moorish Idols are often seen alone or in pairs in the wild. They need plenty of swimming space and can be shy when first introduced. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOmnivorous, but they feed heavily on sponges, algae, and other small marine invertebrates. In an aquarium, they require a varied diet and may be difficult to train onto prepared foods. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSize:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCan grow to approximately 9 inches (23 cm). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef Safe:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef safe with caution. Some Moorish Idols may nip at corals, sponges, or other sessile invertebrates, so they are not considered a completely reef-safe choice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBest Aquarium:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very large, mature marine aquarium of at least 125 gallons (475 liters), with 150+ gallons preferred, is recommended. The aquarium should have excellent water quality, plenty of live rock for natural grazing, and large open swimming areas. Moorish Idols are expert-level fish and are not recommended for beginners because many specimens struggle to adapt to aquarium life and feeding. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWebsite Summary:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Moorish Idol is a stunning and peaceful marine fish that makes an impressive addition to a large aquarium. However, its specialized feeding requirements and sensitivity make it one of the more challenging saltwater fish to maintain successfully. It is best suited to experienced marine aquarists with a mature, large aquarium.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Royal Aquaria","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50332533948673,"sku":null,"price":120.0,"currency_code":"AED","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/0839\/8849\/files\/rn-image_picker_lib_temp_ffcbbfda-56b8-4177-8c7d-3fb24eabfd2c.jpg?v=1789491305","url":"https:\/\/www.royalaquaria.store\/products\/moorish-idol-fish","provider":"Royal Aquaria","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
