I got one of the two to eat. It is eating formula one which seems to be predominantly brine shrimp. Also feeding Spectrum Pellets, Formula two, sponges and a few other things but only eating formula one right now.

Good news and bad. The moorish idol that has learned to eat prepared foods is now a absolute hog and has noticeably put on weight. It is eating everything including coraline algae, brine shrimp, flake food, spectrum pellets, rods food pretty much anything I give it. He shits when I walk in the room excited for a meal.

The bad news is I got Impatcient and started slowly bringing salinity back up in quarntine tank before the full 6 week cycle. Too soon. Moorish idol shows what looks like a bit of ick last night so now I have to go another 6 weeks in Quarntine. Sigh

I don't think I've ever got that excited...  Good that he's eating.

Contrary to the Moorish Idol's reputation, I have had pretty good luck with them several times.

They are pigs and can be taught to eat just about anything. They also can be really aggressive. They look all graceful but often are down right mean!!!

Sorry to hear about parasite issue Brian, but it sounds like you got it under control. This is the season for parasite issues though. Glad to hear it's eating so well, that is great news!!
