Moorish Idol

Alternative names: Kihikihi, Zanclus cornutus, Moorish Idol (Kihikihi, Zanclus cornutus)

Moorish idol is a small marine fish that inhabits the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indo-Pacific Oceans. Its name was given because of the Moors of Africa who believed that this fish will bring happiness.
The contrasting bands of black, white and yellow and their inimitable shape, gives the moorish idol an interesting and unique aspect.
