Moorish idols (Zanclus cornutus) have several adaptations that enhance their survival in coral reef environments. Their laterally compressed bodies allow them to maneuver easily among corals and rocky crevices. The long, trailing dorsal fin helps with stabilization and navigation in the water, while their vibrant coloration serves both as camouflage among the reef and as a means of social signaling. Additionally, their specialized diet, primarily consisting of sponges and algae, allows them to thrive in diverse reef ecosystems.

The diet of the Moorish Idol fish differs depending upon if it is wild or in captivity. Wild Moorish Idols eat things like sponges, tunicates, coral polyps, and other invertebrate creatures.

This is probably one of the main reasons that they have such a low life-span in captivity.
