Unfortunate problem I'm having with my two Moorish idols. Typically you see people trying to keep these beautiful fish and have the hardest time trying to get them to just eat anything. I just happened to get lucky and was able to find two that were a good size, 3-3.5 inches front to back, AND they were eating mysis shrimp like crazy! So I get them and got them into my 200 gal and it's been a week two so far and they are plumping up and still eating like day one. They have also started eating nori with the blonde naso tang just this morning!

The unfortunate issue I have now is that these two just also happen to have a taste for corals :( I know some people have risked it with potentially not reef safe fish before, what kind of back up plan have you guys implemented?
 
...the backup plan is removing them.
X2 that's it. Nothing will stop a fish that does this it is almost certain to worsen or stay the same.
