    Moorish Idols are not an easy fish to keep alive, but know that others have claimed that they love to eat Clams.

    And yes, please share your technique to get them to switch over to frozen.

    Works like a charm:
    In a QT tank or a tank without aggressive feeders get frozen brine and a bag of live brine. I personally keep the live bag floating with a few holes stabbed in it. Keep in mind that brine shrimp water is not true saltwater (this is why when you try to keep brine they never survive long) so just keep them in the bag from the store.
    When feeding time comes around feed half live and half frozen. I just add a cube size of frozen brine and squeeze the bag a bit. Continue trending down the mix for a minimum of 2 weeks or until you see the fish eating frozen well. This averages about a bag a week. This is the site I get my info from as far as keeping the live brine healthy, also a good place to order if you don't have them locally. http://www.livebrineshrimp.com/ This takes patience but pays off
