The Moorish idol protects itself primarily through its striking appearance and behavior. Its bright coloration and elongated fins serve as a warning to potential predators, signaling toxicity or unpalatability. Additionally, they often hide among coral reefs and use their agility to evade threats. When threatened, they may also dart into crevices for shelter, making it difficult for predators to reach them.
Moorish idol was created in 1758.
