Moo

[EmilyB]

I thought it was maybe a need for food. However, we have been watching the tank very closely the past few days with the changes going on. Moo looked great.

How does a fish go from fine at 2pm to looking starved at 8pm. That was weird. But obviously just a sign.

Moo dropped dead tonite. Four plus years in captivity and I don't know whether the tank change was responsible. I had ever intention of repopulating the tank with coral, and there were still a lot left.

Moorish Idols eat coral, yes.

Sorry Sam.

Keep her in a reef. I'm not sure a sudden departure of that caused Moo's demise, but I can't rule that out.

One of the greatest Reef Fishes ever.
I so looked forward to seeing her everytime I was in Calgary..

Rest in Peace Moo.

Aww Deb that is so sad. I was so inspired by yours and Sam's success in keeping Moo in captivity and was also the reason why I decided to try. I have my "Elvis" in a reef as well and have had him in there for just about a year now. He loves zoo skirts so I always have a supply of lovely brown ones that I rotate back and forth through the sump (to allow them to grow their skirts back). He has survived getting beat to hell by a yellow tang - tank move - fin rot - and skimmer break down and still seems to be thriving. I hope I have him as long as you had Moo or hopefully longer.
