|identification=:There are several other marine fish, specifically [[:Category:Butterflyfish|Butterflyfish]], that look remarkable similar to the Moorish Idol, this includes the ''[[Heniochus acuminatus]]''. The Idol is recognised by being disc-like and compressed in shape with small snout, much like the ''[[Zebrasoma flavescens]]''. The mouth has a v-shaped yellow marking bordered by black on either side. It's body is coloured with two thick bold vertical black bars with a white/yellow base colour, the caudal fin is also black and edged with blue. All the fins on this fish are relatively small. Except for the dorsal fin, where 6 or 7 spines are elongated creating a crest, which gives the fish it's name, "''Zanclus cornutus''" means "crowned scythe". | |identification=:There are several other marine fish, specifically [[:Category:Butterflyfish|Butterflyfish]], that look remarkable similar to the Moorish Idol, this includes the ''[[Heniochus acuminatus]]''.
