Keep it wild
Of all the Moorish idols caught in the wild, a mere five percent will survive the trauma suffered during capture and transportation and only one percent will survive longer than three months in captivity. Adapting poorly to captive systems, they are reluctant to feed and exhibit a higher than normal susceptibility to disease. All of these factors make them an unsustainable choice will little to no chance of survival.
