Emperor Angelfish vs Moorish Idol

[pringles]

i got a pair of Moorish idol very beauty & 6'' emperor ( both were my favorite. ) but my problem is they can be in the same tank (240gallon) the angel will pick on the moorish so bad i had to remove both moorish out of my sps tank. My wife asked pick one between those species , if you was me which one should you chose ?. thanks

I dont know. Both are beautiful. Whichever one u pick, I can probably buy the other one

If the Idols are eating, I would keep them. But 2 idols will probably start fighting each other also

Ill take one if u decide to sell either Idol or Emperor

What size are the idols? I tried a trio and my large idol beat up the smaller idols. I have both emperor and moorish together without issues. Try remOving the angel a few days and re-introduce. Doing this will eliminate territorial aggression.
