Good foods for Moorish Idol?

Hes been eating alot of Coralline Algae on day 2 after acclimation. I put a cube of "Seaworm Supreme" inside a folded up feeding grid and placed the open end under a rock. He gave it several really close looks and it really looked like he was gonna eat it but after several seconds of hovering with snout 1/8 inch away, he just swam onto another rock to pick at more Coralline.

So far he's ignored Mysis, Enriched Brine, Artipods, Frozen Bloodworms, Butterfly Formula and now the Seaworm Supreme. Will try live blackworms and diced clam tomorrow. Anything else i can try?

 

Angelfish formula has some sponge in it.

 

Try it all again. This time rub it on the rocks.

 

Apparently they eat sponges. Good luck, even extremely advanced SW enthusiasts have a hard time keeping MI's.

 

thanks guys. Now he's eating almost anything i put in there. Seems to love the Seaworm Supreme and Purple Seaweed. I presoak all foods in Vitamins and Garlic Extreme so maybe that has something to do with the aggressive feasting.

 

Those things look so cool. I wish they were more reef compatable.
