Moorish Idol tankmates

[iluvmyfishes]

I am rebuilding my 150gal around my Moorish Idol. Need stocking suggestions. I am also including some inverts and basic corals. Right now I only have a neon candy cane,zoos and a green tree coral. As long as I keep my Idol well feed he does not touch them. More interested in getting the right mix of teammates.

I have my moorish with a yellow tang 2 clowns and a medium sized fox face the whole group of fish has grown up together so there is no aggression in the group.

We have ours with:
Angels: flame, blueface, goldflake, regal
Tangs: sailfin, blue
Other: foxface, mandarin, 2 clowns

No aggression issues. My wife loves the MI and this tank was designed around "reef safe with caution" fish so is primarily SPS with some softies. Only coral casualties have been 2 zoa colonies which we left in there as an "experiment". Not sure who the culprit(s) was but removed the surviving zoas.

I have a added a few fragments of zoos and a Duncan and my MI has not bothered them at all. Has anyone kept a MI with a clam?

My MI seems to get along with my 2 Yellow Tangs,Singapore Angel,Tomato Clowns and File fish,in a 220 gallon.

In mid December I added a very small Copperband Butterfly fish.The Mi is 2 to 3 times larger.They actually co exist,fairly well.
Also,I read somewhere some one said that their MI ate bananas...maybe it was on another forum....I tried today to feed mine a few pieces and after trying a bit ,decided it wasn't something they liked....:sad2:
