Zanclus canescens
The Moorish idol normally feeds on algae and sponges. In captivity it must be
given a wide range of food so that it can make its own choice. It does not tolerate
the presence of other Zanclids. Z. cornutus is considered a closely related species,
but is distinguished by the absence of small spines in front of the eyes. Size:
25 cm.
