{"product_id":"moorish-idol","title":"Moorish Idol","description":"\u003cp\u003eBehaviour: Generally peaceful toward other fish, but notoriously difficult and stress-prone in captivity. Active swimmer, often seen picking at rock and substrate throughout the day. Can be intolerant of its own species unless raised together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrigin: Indo-Pacific, including the Red Sea, throughout the tropical Pacific and Indian Oceans.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDiet: Omnivorous, with a strong preference for sponges and other invertebrates in the wild. Notoriously difficult to feed in captivity — many individuals refuse prepared foods and starve; requires live rock with sponge growth, frozen mysis\/brine shrimp, and persistent feeding attempts. Considered one of the most difficult marine fish to keep long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReef Safe: With caution — may pick at and eat sessile invertebrates,\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003esponges, and some soft corals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCharacteristic: Highly distinctive disc-shaped body with bold black, white, and yellow banding, long trailing dorsal filament, and an elongated snout. Often confused with the Bannerfish (Heniochus sp.) due to similar coloring, but the Moorish Idol lacks the spine above the eye and is far more delicate. Generally recommended only for very experienced aquarists in large, mature systems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Two Corals Aquatics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45185710293101,"sku":null,"price":590.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0668\/5553\/4701\/files\/IMG-0044.jpg?v=1781617641","url":"https:\/\/2corals.co.za\/products\/moorish-idol","provider":"Two Corals Aquatics","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
