They are essentially vegetarians; so, try spirulina and nori.

If you DO get them to eat, the most important thing with Moorish Idols is to keep drastic changes in water quality and parameters to a minimum, even improvements in water quality will kill them if it's too drastic. They need an extremely stable environment.
