frog fish, morish idol, and bleached out cinnamon polyps. None are too hard to find. All are reef safe, but the frog will eat smaller fish and will wlk on your corals.

hey cris thanks for youre answer ill love to get my hands on the morish idol tha will look relly good on my tank i saw it and its really nice

Read up about them first. They can be hard to keep alive.

Moorish Idols are very finicky eaters, if you can get them to eat, you should be alright, there are other things to concern about these fish other than eating, so like chris said, read up on them. The frogfish come up alot in alot of stores... some stores name them "monsterfish", "MarineMud fish", there are so many nicknames, but most common one is Frog Fish.

Not too sure about that. There was an article a few months back that was saying that similar tangs like the yellow can help it adapt to live in captivity much better.

they are fine with tangs. But don't get one at any cost. 99 percent of the time they die because they won't eat. And they get stressed and get all your other fish sick. I had a pair and they ended up wiping out my entire tank before they died. They lasted about 21 days and never ate anything besides picking at the rocks. Cost me an achilles, chevron, 11 inch naso w/ streamers, one bicolor anthia plus the two idols. All the fish i just named are pricey too except for the anthia. My point being the idol may seem inexpensive but could end up costing you a whole lot.

Give Dgmasmd a pm... he's either got one, or had one... and check with Greg at PBMAS. He's had one for quite a while. It's all in the diet and acclimation, but more importantly, it's in the collection and shipping, which you have nothing to do with. Lastly, get one from a reputable source. Forget Jawz or Beverly's, go with someone who has a really good rep.
